Ruben Amorim’s day went from bad to worse as Manchester United suffered a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, with the team struggling on both the pitch and off it.
The Cherries took control early, leading 1-0 at halftime before adding two more goals in quick succession in the second half to seal a comfortable win.
During his post-match press conference, things got even worse for Amorim when the ceiling in the room began leaking water directly in front of him.
The leaking roof at Old Trafford has become a symbol of the stadium’s aging infrastructure, which Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly looking to address as part of his plans.
On the field, Amorim’s side has been faltering, losing twice in four days, conceding seven goals in total.
Their defeat to Bournemouth came just after a recent loss to Tottenham.
Despite the tough run, Amorim remains resolute, calling for calm and focusing on his long-term plans for the team.
He acknowledged the difficulty of implementing his ideas during tough times but emphasized the importance of staying focused and continuing to work hard. “Nothing bad lasts forever,” he said, stressing that progress would come with time.
United’s poor form leaves them in the bottom half of the Premier League table as they head into the Christmas break.
Amorim has now lost three of his last six games in charge.
