Amorim wants ruthless United after 'crazy' draw

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said his side had inspired the Old Trafford crowd in a pulsating 4-4 draw against Bournemouth, but must be more ruthless to turn draws into victories.

Three times the Red Devils led the Cherries on Dec 15 in arguably the best offensive English Premier League performance of Amorim’s reign in charge.

Matheus Cunha netted just his second goal for the club, Bruno Fernandes curled in a brilliant free kick and Amad Diallo signed off for the Africa Cup of Nations with the opening goal.

But United’s defensive frailties, without the experienced Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt, were exposed as they failed to win for the third consecutive home game.

Amorim was frustrated by the wasted chances during a dominant first half.

“We are really disappointed. Crazy game. It might look like we lost the two points in the second half, but I think we lost them in the first half,” said the Portuguese coach.
