Andy Gray slams Ruben Amorim’s United choices, says he’s stunned

After a defeat (1-0) against Arsenal in the first round of the Premier League, Ruben Amorim - who asked for the permanence of one of the club's forwards - failed again and Manchester United drew 1-1 against Fulham in the second round of the competition. The match was watched by Andy Gray, a former Scottish forward, who criticized the choices of the Portuguese coach in the match, focusing on the absence of Benjamin Sesko in the starting eleven of the Red Devils.

" I don't understand this. I'm amazed. I moved to clubs for a lot of money during my career and, believe me, I didn't need three or four weeks to understand how the team worked", said Andy Gray in statements to the Mirror newspaper, thus implying that Benjamin Sesko should already be ready to be a starter.

Next, the former footballer reinforced the idea, focusing on the value of the Slovenian striker: "Sesko is a renowned football player on the international scene, played in the Bundesliga and costs more than 70 million pounds (around 80 million euros)... how can they say he can't get into Manchester United's starting eleven ? How so? I must have missed something, seriously"

Ruben Amorim, on the other hand, highlighted the team's effort after the final whistle: " I think we can do better, but we're trying and that's the most important thing for me. I think in some moments we were good, especially at the beginning of the game. I felt that after the goal, we were thinking about the result, just the result"

Finally, the former Sporting coach ruled out the bad results and focused on what his team needs to do: " This team needs to win games, so we need to focus on performance, on what we need to do. If we think about the results, we forget to do the normal things. We scored a goal and we should have had more possession of the ball, pressed the opponent more, but I think we weren't smart at that moment"
