Man United players ‘stronger, faster’ than last season, says Ruben Amorim

Manchester United head coach believes the club’s players are stronger, faster than last season. The Red Devils had a horrible run in the previous season of the Premier League, managing only 11 wins in 38 games and finishing in 15th place in the standings.

United registered a comprehensive 4-1 victory against Bournemouth in the preseason tour to the US on Wednesday. Rasmus Hojlund, Patrick Dorgu, Amad Diallo, and Ethan Williams were on the scoring sheet for United.

Earlier, Amorim’s team had secured a 2-1 win against West Ham after captain Bruno Fernandes scored a brace.

“We are improving, Amorim said. “But again, it’s a preseason game. The pressure is going to be so much different during the season.

“I think they are playing better also because they are connecting better with each other. Not just on the pitch, but off the pitch. I think they are stronger, they are faster. You can see the intensity is completely different [compared to last season].

“I can see the data from the minutes are completely different. It’s important for them to understand that the same players can play a different game.”

The Portuguese manager said they played with intensity against Bournemouth and he was pleased with the team’s performance.

“I think it was a good game,” Amorim said. “I think we played with intensity. We were aggressive and that is something that we need to improve on in the last season.

“I think we had better possessions compared to the last game, so they are listening. It was a good test.”

Meanwhile, United defender Harry Maguire suffered an injury and was forced to be substituted at half-time.

“He had an issue during the holidays, during training,” Amorim said. “They were training in the holidays. He’s a little bit late, so we have to be careful with him. It’s just a little bit of fatigue with the training.

“We are trying to control everything and saving all the players to give the exact minutes that they need.”

United will next take on Everton on Sunday in the preseason.
