    WHAT RUBEN AMORIM SAID

    On substitute Hojlund, he told TNT Sports: "He is improving. He is more near the goal now. He knows better the movement he has to do. He could score more this evening, but he is scoring, working and controlling the ball better."

    Amorim added on Amad: "He can be a good player in that position. We need left-footed players in this team to play that role. In the first half, he was coming for the ball too much. He needs to play near the opposition defence more. He will improve in the future for sure."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The result put United into the automatic qualification spots to reach the last 16 of the Europa League. It also ended a run of back-to-back defeats in what was a morale-boosting victory for the Red Devils.
