Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim says he will rotate his side ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Everton at Old Trafford.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the game, which was recorded immediately after last night’s victory over Bodo/Glimt, Amorim said he wants to win the game at all costs but that rotation would be necessary.
“I’m hoping to win. It’s going to be a different match with a lot of fighting, long balls, second balls.
“A quality coach that understands the league, who understands the movement of the opponent.
“We need to have the ball, because have a short time to recover. We need to rotate the team.
“So I’m hopeful for a win and I’m hopeful to see different things from my team, improvement as there was from Ipswich to now, different things and better things.”
Asked about Diogo Dalot, he responded:
“He is very powerful. We have to rotate him sometimes because he looks always fresh but it’s not always like that, he’s not a machine.
“I think he plays better on the right, he’s a very good player, very powerful, that can play both sides. Nowadays a player that can play both sides is like … it’s perfect … so I expect the same as you saw last year, a great player that can help the team, and he’s really a team player.”
The next question was about getting his methods over to the players.
“I was a football player, and more than 12 minutes, forget it, they will lose the concentration. So we have to work on indoor stadium, we have that, instead of video we do it like walking and jogging, showing some videos. Then we have all the stuff, for example Carlos is with the strikers, to show individual moments.
“Trying to see the game, what is missing. They are very good players, they have to believe.
