Rúben Amorim hails Man United win, ex-Benfica star reacts | OneFootball

Immersed in a sporting crisis, Manchester United was able to breathe against Sunderland, where the Red Devils emerged victorious by two goals to nil. At the end of the match, Rúben Amorim was a satisfied man with what he had seen on the pitch, and the former Benfica player praised the character of his athletes.

In statements to BBC Sports, the Portuguese coach began by highlighting the fact that his team had remained focused at the crucial moments: "This was one of those games where, when you’re not playing well, you’re defending well. We had our moments, we were focused and competitive".

Still on the performance, Rúben Amorim, although pleased with the result, stressed that there is room for improvement: "It wasn’t a perfect performance. Senne [Lammens] was excellent. But we were competitive and a mature team today. We need to win these games without conceding goals. It was good for us".

"We have to understand that everyone needs to be ready to play. It’s a long season, we have many problems, and anything can happen. The important thing is that the teammates helped Lammens a lot to have a very good performance today," added the Portuguese coach.

Finally, the former Benfica man shared a few words about Benjamin Sesko, who scored on his debut: "He has time, he’ll be here for many years. The press puts a lot of pressure on the striker’s goals, but for me, effort is the most important thing".
