Ruben Amorim has reportedly claimed that he felt the “result should be completely different” following Monday night’s 4-4 draw between Manchester United and Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
Although there was plenty of entertainment in the “crazy” eight-goal thriller, the United head coach thought an easy opportunity had been lost.
United took the lead three times and seemed to have delivered the final blow when they surged ahead in the closing minutes, only to concede again and lose two crucial points.
Amorim was clearly frustrated. Speaking following the final whistle, he maintained that United should have won because of their superiority, especially prior to the break.

Amorim Visibly Frustrated With United’s Draw
“It’s really disappointing. We are really disappointed. Crazy game,” he said as quoted by Goal.
“It might look like we lost the two points in the second half but I think we lost them in the first half. We dominated and created so many chances.
“We had to go to half-time with a different result. In the end we deserved more. It was a fun game for everyone at home.
“I think we started really well. We did a very good first half. The result should be completely different.”
Amorim cited similar mistakes made earlier in the season to highlight the first part of the second half as a pivotal occasion.
“I think six minutes into the second half, similar to Nottingham [Forest], we lost the concentration and they scored two goals, but we managed to get back into the game,” he added.
“We score two goals again and then we have to finish the game. A throw-in in our possession, we need to think about, not to go again but to take calm and to close the game. In the end, it was a fun game.”
