United sit 16th in the Premier League and are suffering by far their worst season in the history of the competition. Amorim does not deny they have been poor but believes they have been unfortunate to pick up quite so few points.

Amorim said: "It is hard to talk about that without looking like a crazy guy but if you see the xG [expected goals] in the last games, ours is bigger. Against Wolves we were so near and they scored from a set-piece. It was the first time they reach our goal and they score. Then we had opportunities, especially in the second half. I can understand that and manage that but it is hard to talk about that in the moment. Let's focus on finishing in a good way."
He added: "The best way is to face the game like we should face the game, it is to win the game, we need to perform, to win points in the Premier League and that is the feeling."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Amorim is insistent United have lots to improve upon this summer, recently calling on the club to be "brave" in the transfer window. Liam Delap is said to be one of their key summer targets.
