Ruben Amorim warned “the storm will come” eventually as Manchester United’s head coach tried to temper expectations ahead of the trip to Arsenal. The 39-year-old has been a breath of fresh air since succeeding Erik ten Hag, with his personality and approach, coupled with promising early performances, bringing hope back to Old Trafford. Amorim has been touched by his warm welcome but repeatedly urged fans to avoid jumping the gun, having followed a draw at Ipswich with home wins against Bodo/Glimt and Everton. Wednesday’s trip to Arsenal is comfortably his biggest challenge yet and victory would see United move within three points of the Premier League title contenders. Put to Amorim it will be hard to manage expectations if they won in the capital, the head coach said: “I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come. “I don’t know if you use that expression, but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. “And I know that because I’m knowing my players and I know football and I follow football, so I understand the difference between the teams. “We are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training, and you feel it in this game against Everton, they change a little bit the way they were building up. “They are very good team, and we were with a lot of problems because we cannot change it by calling one thing to the captain. A midweek trip to the capital awaits 🚆 #MUFC || #PL pic.twitter.com/1e6VrILJW3 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) December 3, 2024 “So, we don’t have this training, so let’s focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus. “I know it’s really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. We want to win all the time. No matter what. “We are going to try to win, but we know that we are in a different point if you compare to Arsenal. “So, it is what it is and we will try to win it and we go with confidence to win, but we know that we need to play very well to win the next football match.” The trip to Arsenal is the second of nine December matches for United, who are looking to avoid suffering four straight league defeats to the Gunners for the first time. The Red Devils have not won a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium since 2017, but Amorim knows a thing or two about frustrating Mikel Arteta’s men. Arsenal thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League last week, but in 2022-23 he led the Portuguese side to a Europa League last-16 penalty triumph after a 1-1 draw in London made it 3-3 on aggregate. “Arsenal this year, they play a little bit different,” Amorim said. “They are more fluid. “For example, two years ago when we faced them with Sporting, you knew how to press because you can understand better the structure. “Now it’s more fluid with (Riccardo) Calafiori and (Jurrien) Timber in different sides. One coming inside, the other going outside. Also (Martin) Odegaard changed the team, and you can feel it during this season. “So, you can take something from that game, especially because I know so well the opponent so you can understand the weakness of that team. “But every game is different, so you take something, but you already know that you are going to face a very good team.” This hectic winter schedule means Amorim sidestepped talk of January transfer business ahead of facing Arsenal, although he was more forthcoming on Amad Diallo’s future. The 22-year-old, who put in a man of the match display in Sunday’s 4-0 win against Everton, is out of contract at the end of the season, although the club holds an option to extend by a year. Diallo has repeatedly spoken of his desire to stay at United and it has been reported an agreement is close. Amorim said: “I think he wants to stay, and we want him to stay. So that is clear and we will find a solution.”
Anthony Albanese is slammed over 'tone deaf' comment to Jewish community leaders READ MORE: Greens senator slams one of her own over synagogue post By BRETT LACKEY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA and AAP Published: 23:22, 12 December 2024 | Updated: 00:02, 13 December 2024 e-mail 35 View comments Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been criticised as tone deaf after telling Jewish community leaders that 'Arabs are doing it really tough at the moment'. The PM made the comments after an antisemitic attack in Woollahra last month, in which graffiti was sprayed on cars and buildings, including celebrity chef Matt Moran 's Chiswick restaurant, and one car was torched. Since then there have been two more attacks, one involving the firebombing of the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne on December 6 as Jews gathered to pray, injuring one person, and another graffiti and car fire attack in Woollahra on December 11. The Jewish leaders were reportedly taken aback by Mr Albanese's words and commented on them, but the PM's office said he had been calling for unity and the quote did not convey the tone of the conversation. Sky News host Sharri Markson said on social media the Prime Minister's comment highlighted the Labor leader's 'instinctive sentiment to talk about how tough the Arab community is doing it when the country is experiencing an antisemitism crisis'. Viewers has similar opinions with one saying he 'just can't help himself'. 'A limp PM... allowing hate speech on the streets and lumping our pain in with the Arabs. Shows a complete lack of understanding,' another wrote. 'Isn't it that we are just seeing the tip of the underlying iceberg of antisemitism?' a third added. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been slammed after telling Jewish leaders 'Arabs were doing it tough' The PM made the comments after an attack in November in Sydney's Woollahra in which a car was torched (pictured) Anti-Israel graffiti was also spray painted on cars and on a popular Sydney restaurant in November On Tuesday, Mr Albanese met with the Jewish community outside the Adass Israel Synagogue in Ripponlea and was greeted with a prickly reception, including one woman yelling from the crowd that his appearance was 'cheap and late'. 'People have come to Australia because we are a country that is peaceful,' Mr Albanese told the crowd. 'We are a country that respects people of different faith and are enriched by our diversity here.' His government this week reaffirmed its commitment to the Jewish community, including announcing $32.5million in funding for Executive Council of Australian Jewry to improve security at locations such as schools and synagogues. 'This is a time where the country should be looking for national unity, not looking for areas of distinction and difference over every issue,' Mr Albanese said. 'I would have thought that every Australian would be horrified by what occurred last Friday and would be equally prepared to condemn it and oppose it. It's un-Australian, I've said that. It's designed to create fear in the community, and it should be opposed.' On Thursday, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to support a permanent and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and the protection of children and civilians. The motion passed with 158 members, including Australia, voting in support and nine against, with 13 abstaining at an emergency session. Australia's ambassador to the UN James Larsen said the demand for full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian assistance to Gaza was urgent. 'Israel must take urgent action to alleviate this humanitarian crisis,' he said. The PM talking to members of the local Jewish community during a visit to the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne on December 10 The shell of the synagogue after it was set alight as Jews gathered to pray on December 6 Minister for Housing Clare O'Neil leaves flowers at the synagogue on December 10 The Executive Council of Australian Jewry slammed the motion, saying an unconditional ceasefire meant Israel would have to abandon hostages 'and allow the Hamas terrorists to re-establish themselves as the de facto rulers of Gaza'. 'No country in the world should be expected to betray its own citizens as Israel is being called upon to do,' President Daniel Aghion said. Australia also voted to support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in a second motion that passed with 159 in support, nine against and 11 abstaining. The motion called for the Israeli Knesset to reverse laws banning the agency from operating in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which included Gaza and the West Bank. Foreign Minister Penny Wong has repeatedly stated the agency was the only one with the capability to distribute aid at the scale needed in Gaza. 'For the past year, the world has been calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and the immediate and unconditional release of hostages.Today 158 countries voted in favour of this, including Australia, the UK, NZ, Canada, Japan and Germany. 'We want this war to end and the hostages home.'
