Ruben Amorim has urged Manchester United to maintain a winning mentality after their 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford, while criticising Casemiro for a red card that complicated the match. United dominated early after Robert Sánchez's fourth-minute sending-off, with Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro scoring before half-time. However, Casemiro was sent off in first-half stoppage time for a second yellow card.
Amorim said: 'We started the game in the right way. Really aggressive. The red card helped us dominate ... but we were already there. We scored two goals and then we tried to complicate our game again.' He added that Casemiro was feeling 'worse than me' and that the midfielder 'understands what he did' and 'should not play like that'.
The United boss stressed the need to focus on the next match against Brentford. 'With this win we have to forget the good feeling ... and get back to the urgency of feeling we need to win the next game,' he said. 'In the big club it's not that feeling ... let's relax a little bit.'
Trevoh Chalobah's late header proved only a consolation for Chelsea. Amorim praised the supporters, saying: 'Our fans are easy to please. If you give everything they will be there.' Bruno Fernandes, who scored his 100th club goal, added: 'Every three points is massive ... we go game by game.'
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca lamented Sánchez's red card, saying he would prefer to be a goal down than a man down. Cole Palmer was substituted due to a recurring groin injury, despite a fitness test earlier in the day.
