Manchester United's head coach, Ruben Amorim, has voiced his deep alarm after his squad suffered an embarrassing 1-0 loss to Everton,a team that played with just ten men for more than 75 minutes! This catastrophic defeat is sending shockwaves throughout Old Trafford, as Amorim candidly admitted that the team is "nowhere near" the level required to compete at the top. Fans are left scratching their heads and fuming over such a dismal showing.

This match marks an unprecedented low for Manchester United, as they became the first squad in Premier League history to lose a home game after their opponents were reduced to ten players. Previously, United had triumphed in 36 of their last 46 encounters under similar circumstances. To add insult to injury, Everton's manager, David Moyes, managed to secure his first-ever victory at Old Trafford in 18 attempts,a feat that raises serious questions about United's credibility!

As Amorim approaches his one-year mark at the helm, he is clearly feeling the heat. He lamented, "We are not there, not even near the point that we should be to fight for the best positions. We have a lot to do." His desperate call for a sense of urgency comes after a match in which the home crowd,expecting fireworks,was left disappointed. It’s clear that the players failed to deliver the thrilling performance that fans demand!

Despite earlier praise for the team's supposed evolution, Amorim remains adamant that major changes are needed. "These five weeks, everyone is praising our evolution. But I’m always saying the same things: we are nowhere near the moment we are meant to be in this club," he stated, expressing fears of reverting to last season's nightmare, where United slumped to a disgraceful 15th place without trophies or European competition. Is a repeat of that disaster looming?

Football pundit Gary Neville, a former United player, didn’t hold back in his criticism, branding the performance an "embarrassment." He highlighted how Everton, despite being down a player, managed to outshine United in spirit and determination. "It just smelt of complacency from United. They weren’t at it from the beginning. That is a bad one for United," Neville declared, underscoring the need for a serious wake-up call for the players!

Jamie Carragher weighed in, questioning Amorim's strategic choices during the match. He was baffled by the decision to stick with a defensive formation against a weakened team. "I don’t understand how you can stick with something so steadfastly in a situation like that," Carragher remarked, suggesting that the manager shares a significant portion of the blame for this debacle.
