With Manchester United on the verge of a top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool, team manager David Amorim gave an in-depth analysis of the upcoming marquee match and the team's preparation strategy in an official interview with the club.
In the face of the upcoming double red feast, Amorim bluntly: "This is a contest of honor, our opponent Liverpool extraordinary strength. Despite the emergence of a number of good teams this season, Liverpool is undoubtedly our focus on the opponent. I'm aware of their strength, but my priority is to make sure our team plays at its best."
Speaking about the team's preparation, Amorim was full of confidence: "This week we had a comprehensive preparation, and the intensive training gave us the opportunity to elaborate on the tactics and pay attention to every detail. I'm very pleased with this training because I can feel the team is steadily improving. Now, let's witness the results of these efforts in the game."
Talking about the latest developments in the squad, Amorim revealed, "Rashford is unfortunately injured and Evans will also miss the game. However, Lindelof and Luke Shaw are on the verge of making a comeback but are not yet available for the clash against Liverpool. In addition, apart from Mount, all the other players remain fit."
Speaking about the team's key player Maguire, Amorim spoke highly of him: "We desperately need Maguire, who has struggled but is now in great form. He needs to continue to raise his game because we need leaders. I'm delighted that we've activated the extension clause in his contract, which is not only a testament to him as an individual, but also a strong safeguard for the future of our team."
On the imminent return of B Fay and Ugarte, Amorim said, "Their return is good news for us. Both players are extremely versatile and can bring a wealth of tactical options to the team. I am delighted to see them back in action."
Talking about the team's goal, Amorim said firmly: "My goal is very simple, which is to improve the strength of the team and bring joy to the fans. In the match against Newcastle, we were warmed by the passionate support of the fans. I know Manchester United is a special club and our fans are the best in the world. Therefore, we will do everything we can to bring Manchester United back to its rightful place."
In conclusion, Amorim told the fans: "We will do everything we can to improve the team, that's what we have to do and that's what we want to do. Although I can't make promises easily, I can promise that we will do everything we can to make Manchester United everyone's pride again."
