Jamie Jackson was at Old Trafford tonight. Here’s his report. Thanks for reading this MBM. Football, eh? Bloody hell!

Amorim adds: “We start well … we are not consistent … when the team is a little tired we drop a lot … we can defend quite well in these moments … we should do better with the two [second-half] goals … we have a lot to improve but the character is there … the reflection of the coach is the League … we are under-performing … but we have to see the context … Garnacho is tired but he is the only one who can make transitions … [he’s asked if physically it’s a problem?] … yes, I think so … when you play against European teams we can cope better with that … these kind of moments can change a lot in the players’ mind … we have to be really focused on Europa League … we have to take risks with the kids in the Premier League … the fans have to understand that we have to focus on the Europa League … we believe it is possible … we need luck with injuries … it’s going to be tough.”
