AMORIM WANTS SAME 'MENTALITY EVERY DAY'

United need to replicate the fortitude shown in draw at Liverpool to become a better side

Ruben Amorim said life at Manchester United has become "too comfortable", as he challenged his players to show the mentality that earned a 2-2 draw at Liverpool on Jan 5 on a more regular basis.

Few gave Amorim's men much hope heading to face the runaway English Premier League leaders at Anfield after a four-game losing streak in all competitions.

However, the visitors were a side transformed from meek defeats by Bournemouth, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United, as they scored their first goals away at Liverpool since 2018 and merited a share of the spoils.

"I want to see my team play so much better, but the key today is the mentality," said Amorim.

"I feel that we are, not just the players but everyone at Manchester United, too comfortable. We need sometimes a shock and you can see today we were a different team."

United captain Bruno Fernandes said he was "upset" by the fact his side showed what they are capable of against the Premier League's best but have consistently underperformed this season.

"I'm pretty upset. If we show this level at Liverpool, first in the league, why can't we do this everywhere?," said the Man of the Match.

His manager agreed.
