Winless Man Utd need to 'grow up', says Amorim

Manchester
United manager Ruben Amorim believes his side need to show more maturity after
blowing the lead to draw 1-1 at Fulham on Sunday and remain without a win this
season.
The Red Devils were made to
pay for not making more of a dominant first 45 minutes, during which Bruno
Fernandes blazed a penalty over the bar.
Amorim,
though, was more concerned by what he saw after United took the lead thanks to
Rodrigo Muniz's own goal on the hour mark.
Fulham hit back to level
through Emile Smith Rowe 17 minutes from time and ended the game on top.
"I think we scored the
goal and then we forgot about how we play," said Amorim, who has won just
seven of his 29 Premier League games in charge.
"We want to win so
badly, and that is a good feeling, that we scored a goal and everyone on the
pitch was thinking, 'Let's hold onto the advantage and try to win the game'.
For me that is the moment that we have to enjoy more and push the opponent.
"We have to grow up a
lot as a team. For me the most important thing is that during the week they
were working really hard, today we worked really hard, and we are going to
improve. The moment that changed the game was our goal."
United captain Fernandes is
normally a clinical penalty taker and Amorim said his Portutguese compatiot let
the 38th minute miss affect him for the rest of the game.
"You have to put that in
the past during the game," added Amorim.
"He is our leader and he
has so much responsibility. I felt that he missed the penalty and he was
thinking about it during the game. We need to move forward and to play the
game."
Fulham were left furious at
two major decisions that went in United's favour.
The visitors' penalty came
after a VAR intervention when Calvin Bassey and Mason Mount were grappling from
a corner.
Yet, when Bassey appeared to
be pushed by Leny Yoro in the move that led to United's goal, the video
assistant officials did not get involved.
"I cannot understand. I
would like to explain everything to you from the first whistle until the last
but it is not my job," said Fulham boss Marco Silva.
"I don't want to go in
this direction. Everybody in the world saw what happened this afternoon at
Craven Cottage."
