“Mançester Yunayted”in baş məşqçisi Ruben Amorim şənbə günü Premyer Liqada səfərdə baş tutacaq “Nottingem Forest”lə oyun haqda danışıb.
Komanda.az xarici KİV-ə istinadən xəbər verir ki, o, səfər matçlarının çətin olduğunu söyləyib:
“Nottingem Forest”in son oyunlarını izlədim. Onların istedadlı oyunçuları var: Morqan Gibbs Uayt, Hadson Odoi, Anderson. Bu matçda “Brayton”la müqayisədə daha az şanslarımız olacaq. Həmçinin, nəzərə almalıyıq ki, evdən kənarda oynamaq bizim üçün daha çətindir, meydandakı vəziyyəti daha yaxşı idarə etməliyik. Hər bir hücum vacibdir. Bizi çox çətin bir oyun gözləyir”.
“Qırmızı şeytanlar” son üç oyunda qalib gəliblər. “Nottingem Forest” isə son 4 liqa oyununda məğlub olub.
West Ham United have reportedly called Manchester United to ask about both Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee as possible options to sign on loan in the January transfer window.
Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim hasn’t found much room for either player so far this season, with these two young talents now likely to be keen on moving elsewhere in order to play regularly.
The Red Devils are on a better run of form at the moment, having won their last three games in a row, but there are still some issues for Amorim to resolve.
It might be that we’ll see further changes to the squad this January as Amorim might want to bring in one or two new faces, while he also has a few first-teamers that he’ll struggle to keep happy as they’re not playing much.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano says that West Ham have asked to be kept informed on the situations of Mainoo and Zirkzee.
However, it seems this isn’t really evolving into anything more concrete for the Hammers at the moment, according to Romano.
“West Ham have called to understand the situation of both Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo, on loan of course, for six months, to give them the opportunity to play, to give them the chance maybe to go to the World Cup.
“But at the moment from United they are not opening to any negotiation, so that’s the status of the story – nothing else is evolving about this.”
West Ham are having a really poor season, so if they could strengthen with these two smart loan signings it could be vitally important to help them improve in the second half of the campaign.
Zirkzee hasn’t been at his best for United, but might be better suited to a lower-mid-table team like West Ham, while Mainoo is a quality talent who’s arguably unlucky not to be playing more at Old Trafford.
These two could surely prove important additions for Nuno Espirito Santos’ side in their fight to avoid relegation.
A win at Anfield will do wonders for any manager, but perhaps especially if you’re manager of Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson once said that he judged his players on how well he performed in big games like away to United’s arch rivals Liverpool, so what does Sunday’s result mean for Ruben Amorim’s future as manager?
Make no mistake about it, the Portuguese tactician needed a statement result like this, not to mention the fact that it’s the first time he’s actually managed to win back-to-back league games since taking over last year.
United haven’t had the best start to the season, and there’ll still be concerns there after that shocking Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby, as well as that really poor display in the 3-1 defeat away to Brentford.
But Amorim will be feeling a lot more secure in his position now. The question is, should he be, or was this win against a struggling Liverpool side just a bit of a false dawn?
Manchester United rode their luck in 2-1 win against Liverpool
Football is a results business, of course, so the only real thing that matters after Sunday’s game is that United came away from Merseyside with all three points.

Still, there’s no escaping the fact that these games often rest on fine margins, and had any one of Cody Gakpo’s *three* shots against the post gone in, it would have been a very different game.
Arne Slot said after the game that he couldn’t believe how many clear cut chances his side missed, and you certainly feel like a fully fit and firing Alexander Isak would’ve buried that big chance in the first half.
In total, LFC had a whopping 63% possession and a total of 17 shots, 6 of which were on target – if United allow their opponents that kind of dominance too often, you’d be unwise to bet on them winning a lot of games.

Is Amorim’s system really working?
On the other hand, Amorim arguably did well to get United creating ten shots, including three on target, when they had so little of the ball.

And some MUFC fans might argue that, for all Liverpool’s dominance, not all their chances were of that great quality.
Matthijs de Ligt has one of his best games in a United shirt, and Amad Diallo really shone in that right wing-back role, so perhaps Amorim is finally winning these players round to his way of playing.
We’ll probably need to see a few more wins in the coming weeks and months to be totally sure of that, but the signs after this big win are looking a little more promising.
