'We don't want to play like this' - Ruben Amorim makes Man Utd playing style admission after Red Devils grind out draw to all-but end Arsenal's title hopes

Premier League

Arsenal

Crystal Palace

Bournemouth

Manchester United

<p>Amorim adopted a defensive approach as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-manchester-united-declan-rice/bltc7f69e55709dc2c8" target="_blank">United hosted Arsenal in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday</a>. The hosts sat back and defended in the first half as they had just one shot on target from which <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-hero-bruno-fernandes-joins-mohamed-salah-erling-haaland-in-exclusive-premier-league-club-scoring-stunning-free-kick-against-arsenal/blt43bd73b20aa21742" target="_blank">Bruno Fernandes scored the opener</a>. The Red Devils improved after the break, though, as they threatened the Gunners backline on multiple occasions and could have even won the match, if not for David Raya's heroics in goal.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13325433/we-need-the-points-amorim-defends-man-utd-style-in-arsenal-draw" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a> after the match, the Portuguese coach admitted that Man Utd's approach had not been ideal, saying: "When you coach Manchester United, you cannot play too much like that but the idea is to win the game and not to show something just to the fans. I know that it's frustrating for the fans sometimes but then when you score and you feel comfortable and then you have a lot of opportunities, the game changes, the momentum changes and they are happy. So we have to deal with that.</p><p>"Sometimes we have to do things that are not popular but if you want to win and imagine one way to win, we have to do it because in the end, we need the points."</p>

WHAT RUBEN AMORIM SAID

<p>The 40-year-old added: "We don't want to play like this, defending so much and giving the ball to the opponent. But with all the games, with all the problems and then the characteristics of the players, try to adapt and imagine the game that we could win and we proved that today.</p><p>"In the low block, we can control more the game and then we have some good players for transition."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Red Devils will be back in action this Thursday as they take on Real Sociedad in the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie.</p>
