Ruben Amorim Aims for Premier League Title Despite Carabao Cup Loss
Manchester United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, has expressed his determination to lead the club back to Premier League glory.
Amorim, who took the reins from Erik ten Hag during the November international break, knows the weight of expectation that comes with managing the iconic club.
Despite a recent setback in the Carabao Cup, he remains focused on bigger ambitions.
On Thursday night, United faced a tough 4-3 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, ending their Carabao Cup journey.
The match was a rollercoaster, with both teams fighting hard, but ultimately, it was Spurs who edged out the Red Devils.
This loss was disappointing for United fans, especially given the club’s history of success in domestic cup competitions.
However, Amorim isn’t dwelling on the defeat. For him, the real goal is clear: reclaiming the Premier League title.
Speaking after the game, the 39-year-old Portuguese coach emphasized the need for long-term progress rather than quick fixes.
“We can’t think winning silverware will fix everything. We are improving as a team,” he explained.
“Our goal is to win the Premier League. How long it will take, I don’t know.”
Amorim, who previously managed Sporting Lisbon and earned praise for his tactical skills and leadership, faces a tough challenge ahead. United’s current league position, 13th, is far from ideal.
They are six points away from the coveted fourth spot and a significant 14 points behind their fierce rivals and current league leaders, Liverpool.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
