MANCHESTER: Ruben Amorim challenged his Manchester United squad to perform better after their 4-0 win over Everton.
After Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee scored two goals each, Amorim, who is unbeaten in his first three games since replacing Erik ten Hag, believes his men can put in a better performance.
“The result was good but we were more pragmatic. It wasn’t pretty but we got the result we wanted. We did the job – to win.
“Then we got a goal at the right time and it changed the game. You can’t just focus on the result, but how it was achieved.
“Like before the game, there are many things we want to do. But it’s better to work based on winning. Need to focus on performance rather than results.
“You could feel it during the game. It wasn’t the best performance, there were ups and downs. There were times when we were good and then there were times when we were pressured. We have to improve,” said Amorim.
Amad Diallo was man of the match when he assisted two goals at Old Trafford.
United have now climbed to ninth in the league, just four points behind the top four.
