Amorin: Keane et al. have very high standards, but I have to make the best decision for the club

May 9th, May 11th at 21:15, in the 36th round of the 2024-25 Premier League, Manchester United will play against West Ham at home. At the press conference recorded in advance, Manchester United coach Amorin talked about some of the current situation of the team.

You mentioned before that the team has some weaknesses. After defeating Lyon, you said that the team lacks some characteristics. Would you like to share what aspects you want the team to learn that they haven't done yet?

-No, I won't reveal too much. But you can understand these characteristics. The characteristics I am talking about are that players play more in the middle than in the wing, these details, and even their footwork. As far as Garnacho's position is concerned today, being able to use his left foot as a right midfielder is very important, which can change the way of the game. Having some wingers who are more offensive than defense can change the way we play.

All of these things we will try to do in the future, but it takes time, and this won't happen in a summer or any time. So I just talked about this, and then the weakness, you can see where the game goes. We have a lot of problems, and even if you win a game like this, you can see in the game that we have a lot to improve. ”

What will you do in the Premier League next? In the next few games, can’t we see B Fee, Maguire and all of you key players? Or do you want them to get some game time before the final against Tottenham?

- No, they will play because sometimes it’s better. I will protect those who may be injured, such as B Fee, or the last game before the match against Tottenham, but we’re against Chelsea on Friday so we have time to recover. We want to win, want to stay competitive, even in the Premier League. B Fee has no injury issues, but Maguire is injured. So we have to deal with this, but they will play, which is better than not playing."

There will be a playoff tour after the season, and I wonder what you think about it? Have you solicited opinions on this?

-Yes, I did participate in the discussion and mentioned this before. Given the situation this season, we can't be indifferent, we need to help the club earn more. Through this tour, we can connect with fans around the world, which is very important, especially after such a difficult season, we have let the fans down.

I think this is at least something we can do. We will bring the entire team, including young players, and all the staff. Our staff has changed a lot recently, so we hope that through this event, we will unite the club like a big family, which I think is also a great opportunity. Will

bring all the first-tier players?

-Yes.

Regarding the competition for the final position of the UEFA Cup, do you expect there will be fierce competition in training to the death?

-I'm not sure. As I said, for some players, we have doubts about whether they can recover. They will work hard to push themselves, and we must manage this situation well and we cannot cause big problems because of risk. Of course, they will fight for the position and will be very excited. This is a good thing. It will not only be good for the finals, but also help us prepare for the Premier League and have goals that can be achieved in our minds. This will be very important.

Do you need to pay a little attention because of the competition and not let the players get too intense in training?

-I won't do that. I always move forward, but of course I will try to manage everything. Now they don't need too much load, so training will be easier in this regard. However, of course they will inspire each other.

What are your expectations for the last three league games? Everyone will evaluate your season based on the performance of the finals. You might win the final but end up at No. 16, which doesn't matter; or you might lose the final and end up at No. 15, which is bad. So what do you want?

- Once again, we can't get anything back from the Premier League. But I think that's a good thing because we won't have much training. The players will compete for the finals in these games, and I think we made some mistakes against Brentford, and some players may be thinking about the game against Athletic Bilbao. So we have to manage that, and also realize that we are Manchester United and we need to win games, including in the Premier League. We must use every game to improve ourselves, both for the finals and for the future.

How do you view the criticism of your performance in the Premier League? For example, Roy Keane's opinion on the players' Premier League performance between key UEFA Cup matches today - we are doing our best, but I agree with that, we can do better. I don't have much to say about criticism because we should indeed accept these criticisms. If we can't take everything this season, I think we've chosen the wrong career and I totally understand that. I agree with all critics, but at this moment I think we have to act wisely.

We have to take risks and be prepared to accept criticism from all parties, because the standards of Roy Keane et al. are very high. But I have to make a choice what is best for the club, not for me personally. I have decided now to try to protect all the players as it is very important for us to win the finals.
