Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim says his team’s tough win over Newcastle United was one which had the results being different from several home games played by the team.
He said this after Patrick Dorgu’s fine finish off a corner kick gave Man United a 1-0 win over Newcastle in the only game played on Boxing Day. The win puts Man United in fifth place with 29 points.
Heading to the game, Man United had dropped key points at Old Trafford against the likes of Everton and AFC Bournemouth and seeing his team grind out the win to the BBC, had Ruben Amorim state that,
“It was the opposite of many games at home when we played better and created more chances and didn’t get three points. We did a good first half and then in the second half we suffered with the fans.”

“They are a very good team and I think we put some players in positions they are not used to. We put players in who don’t have a lot of experience at this level”.
