"Anything could happen in a game, especially in the Premier League, and you can see it in every game. But the feeling in the first minutes [of a match] it's really important. So for me since we started the first training [this week], we start talking about that. We need to understand the opportunity we have to win the next game [and build momentum]. The responsibility is on us. We need the sense of urgency that we need to win, no matter what. It's going to be really difficult."
"It was everywhere [I said this], he said. I think if we as a team don't understand the momentum now [we need], we have a big problem."
Ruben Amorim is pressing Manchester United to record back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time in his 32-game tenure. Last weekend's 2-1 win over Chelsea presents the immediate opportunity against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Amorim has repeatedly emphasised the need for momentum, particularly the importance of the opening minutes and a clear sense of urgency from the team. Training this week focused on recognising and seizing the opportunity to build momentum. He places responsibility on the players to respond, acknowledges the challenge ahead, and notes increased confidence in the squad compared with last season.
