Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has declared there are 'no excuses' for his team as they prepare for a challenging Premier League fixture against an in-form Crystal Palace this weekend.
Pressure Mounts After Everton Defeat
The pressure is firmly on Portuguese coach Amorim following his side's embarrassing 1-0 defeat to Everton last Monday. The loss was particularly galling as Everton played most of the match with ten men after Idrissa Gueye received a 13th-minute red card for an altercation with his own teammate, Michael Keane.
United's insipid performance against the reduced Toffees squad has drawn significant criticism, placing Amorim back under intense scrutiny in the Old Trafford hotseat.
Formidable Opposition Awaits
The challenge does not get any easier for the Red Devils as they travel to the capital to face a Crystal Palace side enjoying excellent form. Under manager Oliver Glasner, the Eagles have won four of their last six matches across all competitions.
This impressive run had propelled Crystal Palace to fifth position in the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's fixtures, as they mount their own serious challenge for European qualification next season.
Amorim's Stark Warning
Addressing the relentless expectations at Manchester United, Amorim stated: 'In our club it's the same thing because last year we had to win every game all the time. We took a lot of things, a lot of criticism because we were not winning, so in our club there is no excuses.'
The match at Selhurst Park represents a critical opportunity for Amorim's men to respond to their critics and regain momentum in their Premier League campaign.
