AFCON 2025
Manchester United were once again without defender Leny Yoro as they lost 1-0 to Chelsea in midweek.
The defeat was another low in a season of lows for Ruben Amorim’s men.
It was their second successive defeat after the 2-0 reverse against West Ham. After the game, Manchester United manager Amorim downplayed the severity of Yoro’s injury, saying,
“We will assess the player, but I think it is a small thing. We hope it’s nothing serious.” Amorim expressed concern about the timing of the injury with the Europa League final approaching.
Amorim also criticized his team’s performance, noting they lacked urgency. Despite dominating possession, United failed to create clear-cut chances. Amorim stated, “We are missing that feeling of urgency, and it’s hard to explain. I think it’s a concern.
“It’s not the players’ fault. It’s my fault, I’m responsible.
“We need to change a lot of things. If we don’t change the way we play and perform and feel this urgency of winning every game, we should not play in the Champions League.”
