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.
Nigerian player Frank Onyeka speaks on the recent match of the Super Eagles against Tunisia and shares what made the difference in our victory at AFCON 2025.
While interviewed, the player stated “I think our game plan worked really well. The way we pressed them high didn’t give them any chance to play, so that is what made the difference.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
