Amorim Faces “Man Utd Problem” as Fans React to Another Defeat
Manchester United’s 3-2 Loss to Nottingham Forest Sparks Concern
Manchester United endured another disappointing weekend with a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest. Despite goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Amorim’s side fell short, marking the coach’s second loss since taking over at Old Trafford.
Among the post-match discussions, concerns about Lisandro Martinez’s form have taken center stage. The Argentine defender faced criticism for his struggles on Saturday, including losing an aerial duel for Forest’s opening goal and failing to clear Chris Wood’s match-winning header as it crossed the line.
Here’s a roundup of fans’ reactions to the game:
– Msmdee:”What’s happened to Lisandro Martinez? Last season, even while dealing with injuries, he was immense—he helped us win the FA Cup and was hailed as one of the best defenders by Pep. This season, he’s been a shadow of that.”
– Andrewdev:”People need to be realistic. A mid-season coaching change was never going to fix everything instantly. There were moments of good football, but Onana’s error and Martinez watching the ball go past him on the line were costly. Progress takes time, especially for the attack to click fully.”
– Kewhere: “Onana and Martinez should have been replaced. Standards need to be upheld. Onana has been poor—his mistakes against Arsenal and Forest have been unacceptable. Martinez’s performance was baffling—what was he doing on the back post?”
– Jrthered: “Such a frustrating display! Moments of brilliance were overshadowed by careless mistakes. Bruno is a mix of brilliance and frustration—his creative spark is undone by avoidable errors like the flick that led to a goal. Martinez’s form is worrying, and his mistake on Wood’s header was disappointing. Onana also had an awful game, letting Gibbs-White’s shot slide through easily. These mistakes need to stop!
“On the bright side, Amad showed promise again, even if he was quieter. Mazraoui should’ve started; he’s a top player. Hojlund looked decent in the first half, and I think the Mainoo-Ugarte pivot has potential. Amorim will fix this mess—it’s just a matter of time!”
While fans remain hopeful Amorim can turn things around, the need for immediate improvements, particularly from key players like Martinez and Onana, is clear.
