Man Utd’s opponents, Bodo/Glimt, are currently above the Red Devils, but that could all change after tonight’s match.
Amorim on lack of goals concern
Speaking pre-match Amorim spoke about the lack of goals for Man Utd this season, he said: “Of course, there is a concern in that [we are not scoring a lot of goals],” began the boss, “but I think we have to improve as a team, because we have quality players that can score so many goals.
“You could feel it in the second half [against Ipswich]. We controlled the possession of the ball, but we were not dangerous.
“Maybe because we spent the week trying to work on build-up, and then the rest was not working.
“So we’ll try to improve as a team and Rasmus and Josh and Rash will score more goals. Even Bruno has to score more. Amad has to be better near the goal. We can score so many goals.
“You are trying to [find out] if I need a new striker to score goals. But we need to improve as a team, and these players can score more goals.”
