Manchester United are plagued by injuries, and Postecoglou said he has been facing similar challenges throughout the season

Tottenham manager Angel Postecoglou showed little sympathy for the plight of Ruben Amorim following his side’s 1-0 win over an injury-ridden Manchester United, instead pointing out sarcastically that he had faced similar challenges all season.
With James Maddison's first-half winner, Tottenham Hotspur successfully won a long-awaited home victory. Manchester United was missing several main players due to injuries in this game, and only Victor Lindelof on the bench had first-team experience. However, facing Amorim's difficult situation, Postecoglou showed no mercy and even took the opportunity to emphasize that Tottenham Hotspur had also suffered a serious wave of injuries this season.
After the game, Pochettino said directly: "He (Amorim) has to let players play in guest positions and bring young players from the youth training camp to the field? Welcome to my world. This is just one game. Try to play like this for two consecutive months." However, he still recognized the opponent's performance: "But I think Manchester United played well today."
This season, Tottenham was plagued by injuries, forcing Postecoglou to frequently adjust the lineup, and the results also declined significantly. Before the game, they even fell to 15th in the Premier League. It was generally believed that if the team continued to be in a slump, Pogba might be fired. However, this victory not only helped Tottenham temporarily get rid of the shadow of the relegation zone, but also allowed them to rise to 12th place, rekindling their hopes of hitting the European Cup.
Currently, Tottenham is 13 points behind Bournemouth, which is fifth in the Premier League. Fifth place could mean a Champions League spot. If they can continue their winning streak, Tottenham still has a chance to compete for a spot in next season's European competition. Next weekend, they will challenge Ipswich away, striving to continue to accumulate winning momentum and completely get out of the trough.
