WE'VE LOTS OF FLAWS TO IRON OUT: AMORIM

New boss says United were confused and afraid, need time to adapt to his 3-4-3 style
-
Ruben Amorim admitted Manchester United were "confused" and "afraid" as his first match in charge of the troubled club ended in a frustrating 1-1 draw at struggling Ipswich Town on Nov 24.
Amorim's initial taste of the English Premier League started with Marcus Rashford putting United ahead in the second minute.
But Omari Hutchinson's deflected strike hauled Ipswich level before half-time to deny Amorim a debut victory after replacing the sacked Erik ten Hag.
Amorim has arrived from Sporting Lisbon to find a team in turmoil and languishing in 12th place in the Premier League. At 39, he is the youngest United boss since Wilf McGuinness followed Matt Busby in 1969.
While he was impressed by United's work rate against third-last Ipswich, he conceded there were numerous flaws to iron out.
"It is a tough league. My players were thinking too much during the game. You can feel it. Not just on the ball but where they are supposed to be on the pitch," he said.
