Amorim: Man United need wins to heal past scars
Ruben Amorim has hinted that some of his Manchester United players are still struggling to escape the scars of last season as they go in search of back-to-back Premier League wins at Brentford.
United are yet to win consecutive league games under Amorim.
They have the chance to change the unwanted run when they visit the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday following last weekend’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

– Early-season angst check: Do Madrid, Man United need to be worried?
– From Liverpool to Wrexham, are U.S. owners taking over English football?
Another win would be a welcome step forward for Amorim and his players.
And the Portuguese coach has admitted finally winning back-to-back games would help his squad begin to get over the trauma of last season when United lost nearly half their league games and finished 15th.
“I think if we start winning it is not [a question of] 10 wins in a row,” said Amorim.
“I am talking about the second one, then the third one. The feeling will change and again that is something about the environment that we are living for a while.
“If you look at Bryan [Mbeumo] in that moment when we are struggling you feel a different guy compared to the rest of the team.
“You have to understand that some of the guys are here for a while and that feeling is still here and for that [to change] we need to win games.”
United impressed in spells against Chelsea last weekend and were also praised for their performance against Arsenal on the opening day of the season.
Last season, they beat Manchester City and Arsenal and drew with Liverpool at Anfield.
It’s against the so-called smaller teams that United have struggled most and Amorim has called on his players to treat Brentford as if they were another of the Premier League’s top six.
“The important thing is to do the maximum and to face that game like we faced Liverpool last year because we were struggling, or the way we started the season against Arsenal,” he said.
“We were really excited to start the season. We should have that feeling all the time.
“I think if we as a team, if we don’t understand the momentum now, we have a big problem.
“We need to understand the momentum of the club and the opportunity that we have to win the next game. So it’s on us and the responsibility is on us.”

RIYADH: Pakistan’s star athlete Arshad Nadeem added another feather to his cap by successfully defending his Islamic Solidarity Games’ gold medal in men’s Javelin here at the Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Stadium on Wednesday.
His compatriot Muhammad Yasir clinched silver.
Nadeem got off to a decent start in the final by registering a throw of 75.44m, which immediately put him at the top of the standings.
The star athlete threw his farthest in the second attempt – an 83.05m effort, which consolidated his lead at the top, while he followed it up with 82.48m in the next attempt to assert his dominance.
He threw at 77.06m in his fourth attempt, while his fifth was ruled out. He concluded his campaign with a 77.98m effort.
Besides him, no other athlete could breach the 80-metre barrier in each of their six attempts, with compatriot Yasir registering the next-best throw of 76.04m in his final attempt, which earned him the silver medal.
Nigeria’s Samuel Adams Kure clinched the bronze medal with a throw of 76.01m, which came in the fifth attempt, and could not reclaim his second position in the standings as he managed 75.84m in his final effort.
