Ruben Amorim has insisted that he does not care about Arne Slot’s apparent criticism of Manchester United’s style of play in their 2-1 victory against Liverpool last Sunday.

Liverpool’s head coach cited United’s “low block” and “long balls” after United’s first win at Anfield since 2016. Slot sought to point out that his comments had been complimentary when speaking on Friday. Speaking himself soon after, Amorim gave his response to the Dutchman’s initial comments. “I don’t care what Slot is saying, what people are saying about our team,” he said. “I can watch the game and say we can do better and we need to do better in the future but sometimes you need to adapt to the game. So I don’t need anyone to evaluate my team. I can evaluate my team and I am really clear that we should play better with the ball and we are going to try to do that in this game.”
