Manchester United boss Rúben Amorim has urged his players to raise their performance levels if they are to turn the club’s fortunes around.
The Portuguese manager is under heavy scrutiny following United’s poor start to the season, which has seen them collect only two wins, one draw, and three defeats from their opening six Premier League fixtures.
In an interview with TNT, Amorim expressed confidence that Matheus Cunha can play a key role in inspiring the Red Devils to a revival.
‘We have a lot of players that they were here for many years, and we are struggling so that is always in your mind.
‘It’s not just the leaders, we need leaders, but sometimes what I’m thinking is we miss some crazy guys, you know?’
‘The guys, I think Cunha is a little bit like that. He’s a guy that is a good guy, but he doesn’t care who you are.
‘He can play wherever, and he will go with the ball. This kind of feeling, we need that. Harry Maguire was captain, he played national team, but you can feel it sometimes that when things are going wrong, we go down.
‘No matter if it’s Bruno or Harry, and that is in the past, so we need to live in the future.’
