It was clear that Amorim’s second game in charge was a much improved performance despite the closeness of the scoreline. He’ll he hoping for the quality of the chances to improve but the quantity and regularity on Thursday night were both positive!

Amorim mentioned United may have to “suffer a little bit” to see some long term progress and we saw some signs of this against Ipswich. Touches in the defensive 3rd were up ~80% while touches in the attacking 3rd decreased ~33%

The Amorim era at Manchester United begins today! The impact he had at Sporting CP is clear on both sides of the pitch with improvements in both xG and XGA. Can he bring the same improvements to United? Let's see!
