Overview
- Manchester United enter the international break unbeaten in five league games, including a 2-1 win at Liverpool, victories over Sunderland and Brighton, and draws at Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.
- Amorim rejects claims that his 3-4-3 is the problem, arguing that intensity, confidence and team dynamics are the real determinants of performance.
- He notes United have conceded the most second‑half goals in the league and urges a mindset shift to finish matches, pointing to injuries to Casemiro and Harry Maguire as factors in late drop-offs.
- Amorim says Ratcliffe’s pledge to judge him over three years calmed external noise, adding that he is not worried about losing his job and that such backing does not change his methods.
- Reflecting on feeling overwhelmed last season after a 15th-place finish, he says progress is real but incomplete and expects a tougher test against an improved Everton on Monday.
