Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim says his players are “too anxious, too afraid” and that his team’s poor form has taken its toll on him.<\/b><\/p>\n

United head to leaders Liverpool on Sunday (16:30 GMT) on the back of four successive defeats in all competitions – including three in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

They have won just two top-flight matches since Amorim took charge in November and are only seven points above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

“You can see in my face, you can compare it to the way when I arrive and now,” said Amorim, who has lost five of his eight Premier League games in charge.<\/p>\n

“Of course there is a lot of pressure. For me, it’s the pride and also the performance. <\/p>\n

“It’s harder when we don’t perform well.”<\/p>\n

United lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth, 2-0 at Wolves before slumping to a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle in the space of eight days over the festive period.<\/p>\n

They have not lost four league games in a row in the same season since between December and February 1979, while they last suffered four defeats in a row without scoring back in April 1909.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“They are anxious, sometimes afraid on the pitch,” Amorim said of his players. “We have to cope with that.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, United’s Portuguese boss said “we are starving for leaders on the pitch” as he praised defender Harry Maguire for bouncing back from difficult times.<\/p>\n

“We need the leaders to step up to help the other guys and I’m the most responsible person here to improve the performances,” he added.<\/p>\n

“You can see the players are trying, sometimes too anxious, too afraid to play football because this is a difficult moment and we will help the players to be better.”<\/p>\n

United, who are 23 points behind Liverpool having played one game more, have not won at Anfield since January 2016 when Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the game. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, United have failed to score on the past five visits, with their last goal at the venue coming in December 2018.<\/p>\n

Despite his team’s worrying form, Amorim said better times were coming for United and their fans.<\/p>\n

“I will do my best,” he said. “I am giving everything to help the club and we are going to succeed. I know it is hard to understand that in this moment, but we are going to succeed.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
