Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim was pleased with the 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals as the best result since taking over, but warned his players not to be complacent in the second leg. Amorim
has had a number of good games since taking over in November, including a 4-0 rout of Everton, a 4-1 win at Real Sociedad, a 2-1 win at Manchester City and a penalty shootout victory over Arsenal. After
the latest game at San Mames, the Portuguese coach was asked whether the win over the fourth-placed La Liga side was his best game as United boss.
“I think it was the best result because nobody expected it to happen,” Amorim replied.
“We got a very good result. At the same time, we have to understand the reasons. We struggled a lot at the beginning of the game, but the red card was the turning point. “
Every game can change with one incident. We had a chance to score another goal, but the game was not over yet. The opponent could do the same at Old Trafford. “
Bilbao are very strong and play very intensely, สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน so we have to be ready for it. Today, an experienced player like Manuel Ugarte was a little bit nervous,” he said.
“Patrick Dorku is excited, players like Casemiro, Bruno and Maguire really help the team.”
Harry Maguire played a big part in the breakthrough goal, showing off his skills at dribbling past defenders and Amorim was asked for his opinion:
“Maguire is a good winger! Sometimes in life you have difficult moments, Maguire has been through those moments, everything he does is for the team, so we have to be happy.”
