Family loss unsettles Ruben Amorim before Brentford v Man United
Manchester United seeks to secure a second consecutive victory in the Premier League as they travel to Brentford's ground. However, Ruben Amorim will face a challenge, as Amad Diallo and several other key players are out of the match.
"Lisandro Martínez [recovering from injury] is out. Casemiro also cannot play because he received a red card [against Chelsea]. Amad [Diallo] is not here with us because someone in his family passed away . We will give him all the support and understand that he needed to return home. Mazraoui is also out and is not expected to return until the international break," said the former Benfica player during the match preview.
Due to the tragic moment, Diallo has removed all content from his social media, and Amorim approved the decision: "I tell my players the same thing: disconnect from social media. Nowadays, it's the price to pay. The most important thing for Amad is the club and real-life friends . We are here for him. It's a difficult time, and in this context, the next game is not important. We can win without Amad, and we want to win for him."
" I think we have been playing well, but it's normal for the fans not to know what will happen in the next game. Honestly, I have an idea, but I don't know how it will turn out, and I'm the coach of this team. The best way to deal with this is to approach each game as if it were the last. I understand what the fans feel, so we will start changing that feeling to do what we need to do on the field," he stated.
"It's very important to achieve a good moment. We talked about it at the end of the game. We have an urgent need to win, no matter how. It's going to be very complicated. Every time we start preparing for the game, we look at the opponent and realize it's going to be tough. I have that feeling. But in my opinion, we can't control the game . The most important thing is to start the game the same way we started against Chelsea and Burnley. In these types of games, we need to be very focused," concluded Ruben Amorim.
