Ruben Amorim expressed his belief that Manchester United controlled the game against Brentford, despite suffering a 4-3 defeat. He made several changes to the squad, integrating young players like Tyler Fredricson and the 17-year-old Chido Obi, the youngest to start a Premier League game for the club. Though Brentford established a strong lead, United's late goals from Garnacho and Diallo fell short of salvaging the match. Amorim remained optimistic about the quality of the young players and is focused on upcoming games, particularly for the Europa League qualification.
Despite the defeat, Amorim was upbeat afterwards, highlighting the performances of young players and expressing confidence about future matches despite the loss.
I liked [the performances of] the young kids. I liked how we controlled the game without many occasions to score, indicating optimism moving forward.
In the first 30 mins we struggled with set pieces but we already knew we didn't have the height to fight that, showcasing United's challenges.
We are fighting for the Europe League and Thursday is the most important game for us, reflecting the team's shifting priorities.
