Manchester United summer signing Sofyan Amrabat acknowledges that they have not been performing to required standard.

Amrabat, who played in the 2-1 win over Brentford, has been forced to fill in at left-back for most of his appearances this season.

The 27-year-old, who was off the field when Scott McTominay scored twice to give United a late win over the Cherries, spoke about United's season so far.

“I think I can say a lot of things, but I don't want to use them as an excuse," Amrabat said in a recent interview with Premier League Productions.

“I think in life, but also in football, it never goes always only good, or top. You always have a moment that maybe it will be a little bit difficult, and now I think it's a bit like that at the moment.

“But we just started. We still have a very long season, a long way [to go]. I think we have played good games [and had] a lot of positive and good things.

“Maybe with a bit more luck, we'd have won the games that we didn't win. So I have a lot of confidence and I think yeah, we work very hard every day.

“Nobody will give it to you. You have to work for it. But we work very hard and I believe it will be fine. It will be good."
