Amorim explains the decision to play Harry Maguire as a temporary striker

Robin Amorim, Manchester United director, explained his decision to play Harry Maguire as a temporary striker in his defeat 1-0 against Nottingham Forest.

United lost 1-0 to the Champions League forest at the city’s stadium through the effort of former player Anthony Elanga, but he approached equality late as Maguire’s effort was cleared by Morillo.

While the sudden step, the defender proved inconvenience after managing three shots after leaving the bench in the 88th minute, which was more than Joshua Zerkzi and Hasseos Holund between them in more than one forbidden end of the Magir -recognized attackers.

“At the end of the game, when the opponent protects the box, they are comfortable,” Amum said at his press conference after the match.

“We can reach the last third, but we have to put the ball in the box, where it is difficult to make groups. Harry Maguire, when he attacks the specified pieces, may be the best player in the team.

“Inside the box, you are not a defender, you are a striker. Place a really good man to score the goal.”

United problems ending

Although he was subjected to the thirteenth defeat of this season, it was one of United’s best offers this season after getting 23 rounds on the goal, but their problems were put in the completion of opportunities again.

“This is clear,” added Amorim. “We have created some opportunities, but we can create more with the possession that we had.

“We have often reached the last third, but we need to be better. It is important to score goals and we have a deficiency in goals.

“We put the forests in the place where they wanted to be. They have quick players in transformations, and we pushed forward but in the last third, we were not good enough.”

Amorim HRUTBISHES claims that Elanga should have remained

His goal and the United attackers

Amom said: “We are talking about many front players who come from Manchester United and are in good health. But they have the opportunity here,” Amom said.

“Here in Manchester United, you don’t have time. I’m saying all the time, I will not have time. We have to get it properly – quickly.

“But you don’t talk about players who did not play with Manchester United. Here they were playing with Manchester United. Here, the pressure is very large at times, and sometimes you have no time.

“You must have time to develop these children. But you need a strong base to support all these children. If you do not have that strong rule, we will not help our children.

“So they had their chances and sometimes football was like this, and playing playing with Manchester United is really big.”
