Ruben Amorim admits that Manchester United is missing the pace after pulling Leeds

Ruben Amorim admits that Manchester United is missing the pace after pulling Leeds


Ruben Amorim admitted that Manchester United was missing the pace and had to improve in the last third when she started her pre -season campaign with a goalless draw against Leeds.

United, who scored only 44 goals in the Premier League throughout the last season, was again toothless in advance, although, after a first model for the new commitment of Matheus Cunha, he scored £ 62.5 million ($ 83.8 million) Mathems Cunha.

Cunha started the match when the left midfielder, in which Bruno Fernandes sits deeper, started in a combination that made Amorim clear, where he was where he wants it.

Bryan Mbumo will enter the club from Brentford, and the Portuguese manager will hope that the Cameroon can deliver the pace internationally that United plays into life.

Amorim said to MUTV: “We have a lack of speed. In the middle of the park, you can feel that it is difficult to bring the ball.

“We have created opportunities. We have a lot to do, but it was a first test against a Premier League team with two different teams, a good test.

“Matheus Cunha showed what we need, a player between the lines that is really aggressive. We saw it for another team last season. We expect the same thing.

“You can see the connection with him and Bruno Fernandes is still not there. But it will be a good connection because you can set up a player like Kobbie Mainoo or Mason Mount. We have to increase our quality in the last third.”

Marcus Rashford is one of five players, of whom the club will leave this summer, with connections to move to Barcelona.

Although Amorim had such a large number of players who wanted to leave them, he was certain that the morals of the teams were strong.

“The environment is really good, of course we will fight sometimes, but what I felt at first is that we will fight together when we will fight,” he added.

“This is the beginning of everything, then we have to set the quality.

“This club is not just about effort, but about quality – we have to win games.”

Despite the positive attitude of Amorim, he recognized the need that his squad looked to the kink before her tour to the USA

United will play West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton between July 26th and August 3 in the USA in Old Trafford in the pre -season on August 9th.

“We have to make this bond between everyone [on the United States tour] – Not just between the players, but the staff, “he said.

“Stop all changes. We have to leave this as a group.

“We have a lot to improve, the speed of the game, all the details. We have to improve.”
