'This Team Needs To Win': Ruben Amorim Lays Down The Law For Manchester United Players After Unexpected Draw Against Fulham

Two matches, one loss and one draw, Ruben Amorim's Red Devils, aka Manchester United, have shown a lot of promise so far in the 2025/26 edition of the Premier League, but they haven't quite lived up to it. United would've hoped for a result in their recently concluded game against Fulham, considering the fact that they had 70% ball possession in the first half, but things suddenly went downhill after half-time, leaving the 'Red Devils' bewildered.
