However, he was cautious not to overextend these players. Amorim explained that the decision to rotate his squad was to ensure that all players remain fit and avoid further injuries.
“It’s not because I like to change all the time, but because I like to have all the squad fit,” he said. “So for example, Harry Maguire has a time limit, Tyrell Malacia has a time limit, Mason Mount has a time limit, Leny Yoro has a real time limit.”
The Portuguese manager emphasized the importance of managing the players’ workload to maintain their fitness and performance levels.
“We have to manage winning games, a different methodology, different way of playing, more meters to press. Tomorrow we have to assess the guys and if they have a little bit risk of injury, they will not play.”
Amorim’s comments come as Manchester United continues to navigate a challenging season with numerous injuries affecting the squad.
The team’s ability to manage these injuries and maintain player fitness will be crucial as they aim to climb the Premier League table.
