Man Utd traveled to Tottenham on Sunday and admits that former coach Ruben Amorim is facing similar troubles.
Manchester United boss Reuben Amorim has been in charge of Tottenham Hotspur’s manager Ange Post Coglow, due to their unwavering commitment to their football ideology and tactical resolve, regardless of outside criticism. He says he shares his connection with.
The two teams facing off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday found themselves in unfamiliar territory in Premier League standings, two points behind United’s 13th and 14th, two points behind Amorim’s side.
Both managers tried to get players to adopt a specific style of play. This often costs backwards to leak targets, and Amorim believes they both have the same problems as staying immovable in tactics.
“I’m a huge fan of Ange Postecoglou. I’m from a different culture. I’m in Portuguese and all Portuguese coaches can adapt. Amorim told reporters on Friday.
“The simplest thing is that you’re using one system at the moment, because if you’re working on that system, you believe you can play it on different systems at the same time. That’s what I think. But we haven’t won the game. I understand the connection between me and Anji. I have the same problem.
“In my opinion, with all respect, I’m at a big club with greater pressure. I understand this connection and he’s a really important coach to follow his principles.”
The Spurs have won two league games since the beginning of December, knocking out of both domestic cups in the last three days. Amorim said he had sympathy for Postcoglo.
“Of course, especially because he’s a good guy. He’s a very good coach. He wants to play football the right way. For me, that’s a good thing,” Amorim said.
“There are a lot of good things when choosing this profession, but when you can’t win, you have to feel the pressure.”

United didn’t bring in any offensive reinforcements as Marcus Rashford and Antony were loaned out in January.
“It’s easy here. To do something, you have to sell the players. My focus is to prepare the game. I can’t do it now. The windows are closed,” he said.
“We need to focus on the games we have, and we know in the summer.”
