What you need to know:

  • While injuries, and the fact that United failed to strengthen their squad in the January window, can be used in mitigation for Amorim's continued struggle to turn around United's slide, defender Matthijs de Ligt said there could be no excuses.
  • "We still had a starting eleven with first-team players. It's no excuse. It's not nice when you lose five players in one week, but that's part of football, part of life," he said.

London

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim insists there is no running away from the club's plight after they suffered a 1-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday -- their 12th defeat in 25 Premier League games this season.
