Ruben Amorim praises Manchester United's resilience after 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest, a testament to the team's growth under his leadership.
“We lost control of the game for five minutes...”
Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim expressed his pride in his team's resilience after securing a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest. Amorim believes that last season's struggles would have seen his team struggle to recover from conceding two quick goals, but this time they showed the mental strength to fight back and earn a point.

United had looked to be cruising to victory after Casemiro's header gave them the lead in the first half. However, Forest's fightback was swift and decisive, with two goals in two minutes turning the match on its head. But Amad Diallo's stunning volley salvaged a deserved point for United, highlighting the team's improvement under Amorim's leadership. The draw marked a notable milestone, coming exactly a year after Amorim took charge of the team.
“We lost control of the game for five minutes,” Amorim said. “But my feeling is that the players tried, really tried. They tried during the week and they tried today.
“In the past, if we had this kind of bad five minutes and we suffered two goals, we didn't recover. Today is a different feeling. You can sense that we could not win this game, but we are not going to lose.
“That is a feeling that a big team sometimes has to have. Last season we lose that game, by more goals.”
A win would have lifted United to second place in the league table, a significant leap from their 15th-place finish last season.
“The confidence, of course, is completely different,” Amorim added. “We came from three good games and we have a different confidence. We understand each other better.
“And a game is like that also. We have good moments, we score,” he added. “You can sense that we have control of the game when the first half finishes. We start the second half and we suffer. We managed to recover from that and that's a good feeling.”
