Post-game, Amorim stated: “I had five minutes with him (Ratcliffe - INEOS chief and United shareholder) to talk about different things about the game. Was not a good game but in the end, the result helped the conversation.
“So we can do our job, it’s a really difficult moment but today was more important the win. I know the fans want to see so much better football than this, I want to see much better football than this but you need time.
“Like I said in the first days here, to win time, you need to win games. We did that today, not in a good fashion but we managed to win and we’re going to prepare for the next game.”
