Amorim on the growth of Leny Yoro

**Just on Matheus Cunha, obviously, this was a frustrating setback. What have you made of his start and how many more levels has he got to go?**“I think he has more levels to go. He's in the different club, different pressure, but I think he [has] coped with that really well. He was struggling because he was not scoring and because of social media abuse [smiles]. No, he was thinking too much about the numbers, but the influence that he has in the team, is so important for us. But I think Cunha has so much to grow defensively and offensively.”

**Leny looked a bit upset when he came off on Sunday. Just wondered first of all, how is he? But then also, we saw Mason Mount after the game comfort him a little bit. So, what does that also say about the culture and maybe how close the group are becoming?**“It's really important. Of course, I also spoke with him because he thinks too much. He makes the mistakes in the game and then he struggles because he's too young and he wants to do everything so well. And he’s growing. He’s growing in one moment that everyone here is growing with games, with setbacks, so it's not easy for him as a young guy. And of course, he cannot give that to the people, the way he came to the bench. So, he understands that, but he was really frustrated. On the good side, it shows that he cares and he was knowing that was not the best game, but he did some things well, and I show him that also, so he's fit and ready for the next challenge.”

**I know we've asked you a few times about Shea Lacey, and it seems like he could be getting closer potentially to a debut. You talked a lot about the players playing for Manchester United, the pressure it comes with. Just wonder how ready do you think he is for that kind of limelight? And how do you prepare young players for that attention that they'll receive once they start playing in the first team?**“First of all, trying to explain every day how to play, because if you are comfortable, you have not many doubts when you are playing, that will help the kids to play. Then it’s towards the physicality, to understand that when he's training with us, give him time with us, to understand that the speed of the pressure, the moment to have the ball, to pass the ball, it’s completely different, if you compare to Under-21s. So, that is the only way that I know how to prepare a kid to play for a club, especially for this club. So, we’ll have to go there, to have the chance. I don't know when, but he’s ready to play.”
