Blue Moon wins three goals, sending Manchester United the worst start in Premier League history in 33 years

After losing to his city rival Manchester City with three goals away from home, Manchester United only scored four points in four games, and suffered the worst start in team history since 1992. Even so, Red Devils coach Amorin is still unwilling to change his football philosophy and insists that the loss has nothing to do with the formation.

In the Premier League Manchester City match that ended in the early morning of Monday (September 15), with the double score of main player Haaland and Foden's first Premier League goal in eight months, Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-0 at home, giving the opponent the worst start in the Premier League history since 1992. The

match was held at Etihad Stadium. Less than a minute into the opening game, Manchester City striker Haaland got a shot but the angle was too small to score. In the 18th minute, Manchester City winger Doku dribbled in the penalty area and assisted midfielder Foden to score his first goal in the game. This is also Foden's second goal in the Premier League after 232 days since January this year.

Manchester City midfielder Foden scored the team's first record in the first half, and also broke his 232-day Premier League goal drought in the 53rd minute of the second half, Doku passed a straight pass to Haaland, assisting his teammates to expand the score. Just one minute later, Haaland got a chance to hit the empty goal in front of the goal, but the ball bounced out of the post. Manchester United had several threatening shots afterwards, but they were bravely resolved by Manchester City's new goalkeeper Donnarumma. With Haaland scoring twice in the 68th minute, the game was completely lost, and Manchester United, who was away from each other, eventually lost their opponents 0-3.

Amorin: Accepted criticism but did not change the football philosophy

After this battle, Manchester City stopped the momentum of two consecutive losses and rose to eighth place in the Premier League with a record of two wins and two losses. Manchester United's record of losing has reached one win, one draw and two losses, ranking 14th with only four points, setting the worst start in the Premier League history since 1992.

According to statistics from well-known sports reporter Romano, Manchester United coach Amorim has only 25.8% of the Premier League since taking office in November last year (eight wins, seven draws and 16 losses), making him the coach with the lowest winning rate in coaching Manchester United since World War II. In response, Amorin said after the game that he accepted the "all decisions" made by the club.

Manchester United coach Amorin's three-back style of play has been questioned, and the conceding of the ball in this game is also largely related to the loopholes in the defense. "The (team) performed poorly. At the critical moment, they (Manchester City) were better than us... I understand (outside) disappointment, and the decision that followed, and I accept criticism."

Having said that, he still did not want to change the football philosophy of the three-back. "When I decide to change my philosophy, I will change. If I don't want to change my philosophy, then change some players... We have to talk about this after every loss. I don't believe it is because of the formation or other reasons. Therefore, I still coach my own way until I decide to change."

Guardiola: I hope Foden will gradually return to his best form

On the other hand, Manchester City, who won the game, avoided three consecutive losses, and coach Guardiola especially praised Foden, who broke the goal drought. "Don't forget that two years ago, he was the most important player in the Premier League (PFA Player of the Year) and a key figure in that championship.

"I hope he can get his best shape step by step. Recently, we can see happiness and happiness on his face every day. We believe that now we will see the best Phil (Fourden). ”

Before this game, Manchester City had suffered two consecutive losses, which put a lot of pressure on coach Guardiola. However, in this game, Foden (right) broke the 232-day goal drought‍

Guardiola also praised Haaland, who scored twice and won the best in the game. "Since Ellin (Haland) joined, he has never disappointed us. He has this responsibility, so he has signed a contract for so many years. He is a special player. ”

Manchester City striker Haaland (right) signed a nine-and-a-half-year long contract with the team in January this year. He was in a hot form this season and was also selected as the best in the game, but he said after the game that the new goalkeeper Donnarumma (left) who has repeatedly made great contributions is worthy of the best in the game.
