“[Barca manager] Hansi Flick appears very snug with the gamers that he has, he isn’t placing any strain for brand spanking new signings. His dedication is to these he already has. If Rashford stays, the onus is on him to vary his behaviour and alter his habits. Quite than the PR about how a lot he loves the membership, the followers want to see it in motion.”

Amorim: Man Utd lack tempo and energy up entrance, we have now concern scoring objectives

Amorim’s feedback on Rashford got here after the United boss admitted his crew nonetheless have an issue scoring objectives this season – and that his squad lacks “tempo and energy up entrance”.

At Craven Cottage on Sunday, United needed to wait 42 minutes for his or her first shot at purpose – a tame Matthijs de Ligt half likelihood – and in addition failed to attain from open play within the first half for the twelfth Premier League match in a row.

With Rasmus Hojlund taken off near the hour mark after making little influence and his substitute Joshua Zirkzee touching the ball simply eight instances within the remaining half an hour, Amorim admits there may be room for enchancment in his ahead line.

“We did [transfer] errors previously, we will not do it now. We’re centered on bettering the crew, let’s examine. Let’s concentrate on the gamers we have now and concentrate on the following recreation.”

Amorim not sure of Garnacho future

Amorim additionally remained coy on the way forward for Alejandro Garnacho, who began within the win over Fulham earlier than coming off after United’s winner.

Garnacho has been the topic of curiosity from Napoli and Chelsea, with United doubtlessly tempted to promote the academy graduate to boost ‘pure revenue’ funds to assist their Revenue and Sustainability Guidelines (PSR) compliance.

“No one is aware of. Something can occur,” mentioned Amorim on whether or not Garnacho may go away earlier than the deadline on February 3.

“He is bettering in each division of the sport, the way in which they get better, the understanding of the sport after they defend.

“I am looking for the perfect place for him, at this time he performed slightly extra open, not a lot inside. We’d like the fellows one towards one however I do not know what is going on to occur.”

Evaluation: A successful feeling – however United’s issues nonetheless plain to see

Sky Sports activities’ Pete Smith at Craven Cottage:

Amorim had pressured the significance of the consequence over the efficiency earlier than Man Utd’s 1-0 victory at Fulham and his hope would be the momentum of choosing up three factors on the street can provide his facet a lift.

They definitely seemed like they wanted one throughout nearly all of this match. United’s warning was plain to see as they defended in numbers and seemed for the secure possibility in possession. It was notable earlier than the sport that Fulham had been listed as favourites – and the guests performed as much as their underdog tag.

This consequence will not masks the issues Amorim has to resolve. He himself famous the shortage of thrust within the last third and the query marks over each Hojlund and his substitute Zirkzee stay.

Garnacho, a participant they may nicely promote earlier than the deadline, seemed the most definitely to offer a spark amid an in any other case uninspiring assault. Fulham, regardless of a poor attacking set-piece file themselves, nearly uncovered that well-documented United weak point late on.

But, with a Europa League journey to Bucharest on Thursday adopted by house video games towards Crystal Palace after which Leicester within the FA Cup, maybe there’s a likelihood for United to construct some constructive rhythm to enhance their short-term outlook. The larger image stays a significant work in progress.
