Manager bemoans how “clickbait kills everything”
Sean Dyche has moved to clarify remarks he made earlier this season about Manchester United’s playing style under Ruben Amorim, insisting his comments were taken out of context.
The current Nottingham Forest head coach suggested in August that he could win more games with United’s squad if he used his preferred 4-4-2 setup instead of Amorim’s 3-4-3 system.
Dyche’s remarks resurfaced this week as United prepare to visit the City Ground in a game that could potentially condemn the new manager to two defeats in his first two league games in charge.
In his pre-match press conference, Dyche said he was disappointed by how his words had been portrayed.
“Clickbait kills everything,” said Dyche. “It changes the whole story. They said, ‘What would be a fair timeline?’ and I said, ‘Half a season to continue the work he was doing’, but unfortunately that doesn’t make the story, we all know that.”
“For the points tally, I was suggesting maybe the basics would have worked better. They’ve changed their style, fair play to him, his coaching staff, the players.
“They’re being a bit quicker to play forward and longer, a bit tighter and getting back into their shape. That’s management. That’s coaching.”
