Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has said the only way he and his players and can fix their current problems is by winning games.<\/p>\n
United<\/a> will be looking to produce a swift response to Wednesday night’s shock Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town when they face Burnley at Old Trafford<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a> on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n United were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by the League Two side after losing 12-11 at the end of a marathon penalty shootout. The contest had finished 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes.<\/p>\n As a result, Amorim<\/a> is already under pressure to turn his side’s fortunes around. United have failed to win any of their opening three games in league and cup this season.<\/p>\n With the first international break of the season almost upon us, and clashes with Manchester City<\/a> (A) and Chelsea<\/a> (H) coming immediately after the pause, United are under pressure to get three points against the Clarets.<\/p>\n And in the opinion of Amorim, the key to getting a positive result will be ensuring his side is up and at it from the very first whistle.<\/p>\n Penning his programme notes, Amorim said: “Today, as we welcome Scott Parker and his Burnley side, we need to give a response after Wednesday night’s cup fixture.<\/p>\n “I can only say to our supporters that I am sorry. The better team on the night won the game and we got what we deserved.<\/p>\n “Everybody has to do better. Today, we have to show our intensity from the start.<\/p>\n “We need to go out into the pitch and show how we are capable of playing, because the only way we fix this is by winning games.”<\/p>\n Here at the Manchester Evening News, we’re dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n Make sure you don’t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
