Clearly, it will take more to change the attitude of newly appointed Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim than a good game.
4-0 after 64 minutes! This was Amorim’s second game as Manchester United manager in front of a home crowd. On Thursday, Bodø/Glimt were sent home with a loss, on Sunday United were merciless against Everton in the Premier League.
Two goals by Marcus Rashford and two by Joshua Zirkzee with good help from Amad Diallo
“It was far from a perfect match. We still have to improve, you can also feel that during the game, After a quarter of an hour, Everton controlled the game and we had a hard time, but still it was a super good result in a difficult game,” Amorim said according to the BBC.

Then the Portuguese points to a winger who has taken important big steps in the last month.
“He (Amad Diallo) is a big talent, but small in size. He did well, but he still needs to get even better. Ruud van Nistelrooy helped him a lot when he was in charge.
Diallo is thus behind a total of four assists in the last three Premier League games. The first under Van Nistelrooy, the other three under Amorim.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim speaks to Sky Sports: “The result was good, but we were pragmatic. It wasn’t pretty, but we were pragmatic. We did our job, which is to win.
“You can feel like we have a long way to go. You can feel it in the first minutes, where we were OK, but then Everton controlled the game. Then we got the goals at the right moment and it changed the game.
“You can’t just focus on the result, you have to focus on what the result looked like. As before the game, we have so much to do, but it is better to work on victories. Let’s focus on the performance more than the result.
“You can feel it during the game. It’s not a series of top performances, it’s a roller coaster of achievements. We have some moments when we are good, but then we have moments when we have to suffer. We did it again like in the Europa League We need time to train and improve.
On Joshua Zirkzee: “It’s everything for the player. He did a good job. It’s good for his confidence. We had an idea, but it’s not because I chose him that I had an iphipcheny, we needed fresh legs. Players help a lot, congratulations to them.”
The plan is still to swap Joshua Zirkzee for one of the world’s best strikers.
On Marcus Rashford’s improved form: “A new manager is always like that, but there is so much to improve. He can do so much better. We all need to improve. But it was a great job from the players.”
Rúben Amorim has decided that Marcus Rashford , one of the most emblematic footballers of Manchester United in recent years, does not fit into the way in which they are going to play in the future.
