Do you believe me that I spent part of last week trying and failing to get hold of a youth coach who played him at right wing?

Harry Maguire’s striker origin story begins at grassroots club Brunsmeer Athletic He started up front there, was moved into midfield, then into defence, and worried he’d end up in goal w/ @lauriewhitwell https://t.co/FKrcaggyoF

Amorim has said that the lower intensity of European football explains why United have done better on Thursday nights than weekends this season. So much for that tonight. Athletic are playing this at the pace of a Premier League game and running United ragged at times.

Still, despite it all, think a confident Rasmus Hojlund is a useful player It doesn’t help that there’s no hiding place for him right now But Ruben Amorim doesn’t really have any other option, and sometimes the only way out of barren run is through it https://t.co/6RRAXgODK2

Amorim on Hojlund: "The only way I know is to work on him, show him the videos. He needs to score a goal, he will not score if he’s out. So I try to manage that during games. But he needs to score one, maybe that’s all a striker needs."

Not a result to get worked up over but familiar issues at the root of it. 15 defeats in the league, 13 games without scoring, and the same struggles to turn chances into actual shots, let alone goals
