They had struggled, they were not at their best but one week later [against Fulham] , that has gone, they have improved their level. So it can happen for Manchester United. And remember, they won at Old Trafford against Burnley and Chelsea. So it is not a bad team. Just stay humble, try our best and we will see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Ruben Amorim: &#8220;We Need Results&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Speaking ahead of what is almost a must-win game for United, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/articles\/cr4q750xlv9o\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rubin Amorim said<\/a>: &#8220;Nobody here is naive.
