""We work a lot," Amorim said when asked about United's improvement at set-pieces. "We have more time to work, we work a lot and we learn a lot in England. "I think you are used to seeing that, but when you come for the Premier League you learn a lot with other teams how to do it and we are stealing a lot of things to score goals.""
""I just said to the players we need to be more alive and you can feel that," Amorim said. "So if you are more alive, you are in more places, you are near the ball more often. I think everyone did that. "But we also need to understand that the opponent was tired also in the second half. "And when you increase the rhythm and the opponent gets tired a little bit, suffers right away a goal, you felt that we had the control of the game and that's it.""
Manchester United overturned a 1-0 half-time deficit to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park. Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount scored second-half goals from Bruno Fernandes' set-piece deliveries. United have improved at set-pieces by working extensively and learning routines from other Premier League teams, and have scored ten Premier League set-piece goals this season, tied with Arsenal. Crystal Palace led through a retaken Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty at half-time. United increased their tempo after the break, exploited Palace fatigue, gained control and recorded only their second away league win since March.
