JAKARTA - Manchester United are more confident and manager Ruben Amorim is increasingly convinced when he looks at the match in the English Premier League competition against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, Monday, March 17, 2025 WIB tonight.
MU began to build a positive trend that made Amoram more confident. A 1-1 draw against Arsenal in domestic competitions such as restoring the enthusiasm and motivation of players.
Even though they failed to win, the result gave players the power of mentality. Evidently, the Red Devils appeared so strong when they hosted Real Sociedad in the second match of the last 16 of the Europa League. The mistake didn't make MU fall apart first.
They were able to reply with four goals and won 4-1. MU also qualified for the quarter-finals. This charming performance against the La Lig Spanish team made Bruno Fernandes et al one of the candidates to win the Europa League.
Amoritism shows his satisfaction with MU's performance. According to him, players understand the style of play as expected.
"I feel that in this last match we have understood better with what I want. Players can understand each other how the game design is running," said Amorim, who did not hesitate to praise the spirit of never giving up the players after conceding first.
"We were not affected when we conceded first. We can prevent conceding again. On the other hand, we remain focused and do not feel pressured. This is increasingly convincing that what became the idea of my game continues. We believe we are able to survive," he said again.
After setting aside Sociedad in the Europa League, MU was more confident when he returned to the domestic competition. Incidentally, MU visited Leicester City headquarters who were struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
Currently, Leicester, who are ranked 19 or second from the bottom, will return to the Championship Division if they are unable to add points in order to get out of the relegation zone. The problem is, MU doesn't want to lose the chance to win the match. This is what makes MU will fight at home to the opponent.
"Every game is very important. And we want to remain confident that we can win the game. No matter how long we have time to rest and prepare for the next match," said Amorim.
"I believe we are able to do it. We have shown when we face Arsenal. That we must remain humble. This is what we often forget. So now just forget the position in the standings and focus on facing Leicester like against Sociedad," he said again.
MU is still struggling at the bottom. The team is stuck in 15th place with 34 points. Although it is quite safe from the threats of teams from the red zone, MU's position below is clearly still to be watched out for.

"We need a win to improve the rankings. But what's more important is how we maintain our desire and motivation to win," said Amorim.
The match was indeed emotional for Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. He was originally Erik ten Hag's assistant at MU. When Ten Hag was dismissed, Van Nistelrooy, who was later appointed interim manager because the club had appointed Amorim as a new manager.
When handled by Van Nisrellrooy, MU was even more successful. The team never lost so there was pressure to keep this former MU striker. The problem is, Amorim has brought the assistants so Van Nistelrooy had to be released and then recruited by Leicester.
