Premier League First Win
After a draw with Ipswich Town, Amorim quickly secured his first Premier League win. Speaking after the match, he stressed that although the result was good, his side's performance needed to improve: "The result was good, but we were a bit pragmatic. The team did their job, but there is still room for improvement and there is a long way to go."
Focus on Performance
Amorim pointed out that Manchester United need to focus on performance rather than just results: "At important moments, we scored goals and that changed the game. However, we are not only focused on the result, but also on the performance on the pitch. We need to focus on the performance. There were difficult moments at times, the team had to endure attacks.”
A Disjointed Game
Coach Amorim also commented on the lack of consistency in the game: “It was not a smooth game from start to finish. It was like a roller coaster, there were times when the team played very well, but there were also times when we struggled and had difficulties.”
Zirkzee Shines
Joshua Zirkzee, who scored twice in the match, was praised by Amorim: “The two goals are good for his confidence. I have no special findings, we need fresh players and have many good options. Congratulations to the players for this performance.”
The victory helped Manchester United maintain their unbeaten streak and climb to ninth place in the Premier League table. Under the reign of coach Amorim, Manchester United has made positive progress but still needs to continue to improve their performance to compete more effectively in the season.
