Ruben Amorim believes that Manchester United's 2-0 defeat against West Ham in Old Trafford came on Sunday on a “lack of urgency”.
Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen scored on either side of the peace to complete the first Premier League victory of the Hammers since February, ending a Windless Run of eight games.
Soucek flickered in the low center of Mohammed Kudus in the 26th minute, while Bowen became Aaron Wan-Bissaka's Pass in the 57th in the 57th in the same way in the 57th.
United created many opportunities, especially in the second half, where Rasmus Hojlund saw several opportunities beg, with waste for the goal that turned out to be expensive for the hosts.
The defeat was the ninth of United in Old Trafford in the Premier League this season, their joints of home in a single competition campaign together with 1930-31, 1933-34 and 1962-63.
Speaking with BBC match of the day, Amorim thought about the disappointing result.
“I think it looks free to some games we have had, especially at the end of this season,” Amorim said.
“We have more chances than the opponent, and then we have two goals that we can avoid.
“There is a lack of urgency when we defend our box. There is a lack of urgency when we are near the box.
“We must be more aggressive and we must feel that it is the end of the world when we don't win a game. Especially if we don't win.
“So it's a big problem that we have here at the club. It is a decisive moment in the history of the club.”

United is indeed in a poor form of form in the Premier League, which have now become profitless in their last seven games (two draws, five losses) -hun joint longest ever in the competition (also seven from September to November 1992).
Despite their recent results, however, Amorim insisted that his side was not afraid of losing games.
“We are not afraid to lose a game like Manchester United. We no longer have that fear, and that is the most dangerous that a big club can have,” he added.
The Portuguese also took responsibility for the performances of the team and added: “It is not the blame of the players. It is my fault, I am responsible. If we cannot really change that quickly, we must give our place to different people.
“Everyone is focused on the [Europa League final]. The final is not the biggest thing in our football club.
“We have to change a lot of things. If we do not change the way we play and perform and feel this urgency to win every game, we should not play in the Champions League.
“Then we just have to stay in the Premier League and learn how we can be competitive a week at a time.”

Graham Potter was now happy that he had broken his side of eight games without victory.
“Sometimes we talk a lot about performances as coaches, but the results are fun. We have been in the middle of a really tough run, and [Sunday] Was great in that respect, “Hammers' head coach told the BBC match of the day.
“The players have done things very well. Good intelligence. They showed all the things they needed to win a football match. A great day for everyone involved in West Ham.
“You can talk about tactics, but it's about desire and application and staying together. The attitude and dedication of the player to what we are trying to do is the first class.
“We have the capacity. We just have to keep working.”
Sunday's victory was only West Ham's second victory under Potter and their first in Old Trafford since 2006-07, making a series of 16 league trips without a victory.
