Ruben Amorim's Manchester United shows strong performances against continental opposition, promoted Premier League clubs and top English teams, including a win at the Etihad, a draw at Anfield and a penalty shootout victory over Arsenal. The team performs poorly against mid-table sides, managing two wins, two draws and ten defeats from 14 league matches last season, yielding eight points from 42. In the Fulham match United led after Leny Yoro escaped punishment for a two-hand push on Calvin Bassey but were unable to hold the advantage. David Moyes instructed Jack Grealish to take people on; Grealish delivered a sparkling Everton debut with two assists and renewed signs of appetite.
Ruben Amorim has been a highly successful Manchester United manager against continental opposition and promoted Premier League clubs. He's been respectable against the top teams in England, with a win at the Etihad, a draw at Anfield and a win on penalties against Arsenal. But he's been hopeless when faced with opponents from mid-table. Last season, after taking over in November, Amorim supervised 14 league games against clubs that ended up between seventh and 17th.
I just want Jack to take people on and be positive, he has great ability to take the ball forward, said the Everton manager, who hopes to improve his options on the opposite flank this week with the signing of Tyler Dibling from Southampton. The boy who we saw playing for Manchester City in the year they won the treble is a really exciting player. I hope we can get him back.
