'It's my fault' - Ruben Amorim accepts blame for Manchester United problem

Ruben Amorim insisted he was at fault for Manchester United's set-piece woe in their 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

United conceded from a corner for the third time this week after Nikola Milenkovic rose to put Forest 1-0 up in the second minute three days on from Arsenal's two corner goals against United.

"The beginning of the game, you suffer in the first play, it's really hard then to put energy in the team but we managed to do it.

"We managed to score one more but then it was more like we wanted but with not a lot of quality."

United have now lost six Premier League games this season and are marooned in 13th in the table. Andre Onana committed a
