It’s my fault: Manchester United manager takes blame after club fails to mark set pieces recently
Manchester United have conceded 17 goals from the set pieces in the year 2024, which is the most by the club in a calender year. Talking about the 2024-25 season, the Red Devils conceded 14 goals from the set pieces in the ongoing season. Club’s new manager Rubin Amorin took the blame on himself after the club failed to mark set piece during a 2-3 loss against Nottingham Forest recently.
“When this happens it’s my fault because I’m responsible. We tried to do it in the best way, we did a lot of work in this area because we saw it in (the) Arsenal (game), and it is really hard,” Ruben Amorim was quoted as saying by Sportstar.
“We put Harry Maguire on because of set pieces, to control more who was winning all the first balls. The only way to attack Nottingham was transitions, to try and win first and second balls. When Harry was on the pitch he won all the first balls,” he further said.
