Ruben Amorim has said that Patrick Dorgu<\/a>‘s nerves while playing for Manchester United<\/a> is evidence of the intense pressure to perform at the club.<\/p>\n

Amorim has claimed he can sense nervousness from the wing-back “every time he touches the ball.”<\/p>\n

He’s urged the 21-year-old to be “calmer.”<\/p>\n

But the Portuguese coach also referenced Dorgu’s cooly-taken goal for Denmark<\/a> against Scotland<\/a> and a fluffed opportunity during the defeat to Everton<\/a> on Monday as proof that the spotlight at Old Trafford can be difficult to deal with.<\/p>\n

“He needs to be calmer playing the game,” Amorim said.<\/p>\n

“You can feel the anxiety every time Patrick<\/a> touches the ball. I can feel the anxiety. You remember the shot against Everton.<\/p>\n

“That was easier than the decision he had to make [playing for Denmark] against Scotland.<\/p>\n

“He made a great decision, and I saw it when he played in Italy<\/a>. But here it is different, and sometimes the pressure is hard for them in the beginning, but he has time to improve.”<\/p>\n

Dorgu is one of a number of young players Amorim is relying heavily on this season.<\/p>\n

The list also includes 20-year-old Leny Yoro<\/a>, 22-year-old Benjamin Sesko<\/a> and 23-year-old Senne Lammens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amorim accepts it’s going to take time for the likes of Dorgu and Yoro to reach their peak and sign more players to strengthen key areas of the squad.<\/p>\n

But the 40-year-old has also warned that while he’s overseeing a long-term project, there remains a pressure to win now.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s clear it’s going to take time, especially now in the Premier League<\/a> when every other club is really prepared for everything,” said Amorim.<\/p>\n

“They are improving a lot. Then, we need to win now, if not, something is going to change and we know that. We just need to be better.<\/p>\n

“It’s not good to be Manchester United and not winning. There is no time here, so that’s the feeling I have and why I’m frustrated all the time.<\/p>\n

“Again, we know we need time, but there is no time in this club, so let’s do everything we can to win games.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ruben Amorim has said that Patrick Dorgu‘s nerves while playing for Manchester United is evidence of the intense…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-321643","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
