Ruben Amorim was forced into two injury-forced substitutions for Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Mason Mount and Harry Maguire, the scorer of the winning goal at Anfield, were forced to miss. But the Red Devils still overpowered the Seagulls 4-2 despite the best efforts of referee Anthony Taylor.
Matheus Cunha finally ended his goal drought, Casemiro grabbed one while Bryan Mbeumo scored a brace to ensure the Red Devils climbed to sixth.
Three wins in a row, and the head coach will be desperate to continue the team’s winning run, especially as United are just two points off second place and six points off the top.
Forest ahead
Next up is a trip to the City ground to take on Nottingham Forest, who are without a win in their last eight league games.
On paper it looks like a winnable tie, but with Sean Dyche now at the helm, they certainly can’t be taken for granted.
Amorim needs his players again, and he could use some more experience in his selection. Fortunately, the Portuguese tactician revealed that IN TV that he is hopeful Harry Maguire can be back for next week’s away game.
“He’s not available for this (Brighton),” Amorim said. “Hopefully he will join us next week, but we will see.”
Harry Maguire would return
He also revealed that the England international was not a risk against the Seagulls, and wanted to give a chance to players who have been working hard behind the scenes.
“I hope to have it next week. It’s very simple, but you never know. And I don’t like taking risks with players. It’s wrong for Harry and for the teammates who work.”
“I want to show every time that everyone is important in this team. We have a very good team.”
With the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all dropping points, United cannot afford to make a mistake. Hopefully the former skipper can return next week and provide three points again.
