Andy Gray slams Ruben Amorim’s United choices: I’m stunned | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has yet to get Manchester United on the winning track of the Premier League this season and has been criticized by Andy Gray

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

"I don't understand this. I am astounded. 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", Andy Gray began by saying in statements to the Mirror newspaper, thus implying that Benjamin Sesko should already be prepared 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, he played in the Bundesliga and cost more than 70 million pounds (about 80 million euros)... How can they say that he can't get into Manchester United's starting eleven? How so? I must have missed something, seriously".

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim highlighted, after the final whistle, the team's effort: "I think we can do better, but we are striving and that is the most important thing for me. I think at some points we did well, 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 coach of Sporting dismissed the poor results and focused on the essential that 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 more ball possession, press the opponent more, but I think we were not smart at that moment".
