Amorim warns United to stay grounded after win
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim tempered excitement after beating Liverpool last weekend as his team prepares to face Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Portuguese coach secured consecutive victories for the first time since arriving in November, but warned against overconfidence following the narrow win against the defending champions. United climbed to ninth place after the Anfield triumph, yet Amorim stressed the importance of maintaining focus rather than dwelling on past success.
The manager acknowledged skepticism that accompanies his position when results disappoint at a club of United’s magnitude. He expressed admiration for Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler and praised the visitors’ intensity and quality across all phases of play. Brighton sits one point behind United in 10th position ahead of the weekend clash.
Amorim reported that Harry Maguire and Mason Mount sustained minor knocks while Lisandro Martinez nears a return from knee trouble. The coach emphasized the need for concentration against a complete Brighton squad that excels in possession and transition moments. United seeks a third straight league victory under their new manager.
