Amorim leaves warning to two players after draw
Joshua Zirkzee and Jonny Evans’ performances failed to convince coach
Ruben Amorim was unhappy with the performance of Joshua Zirkzee and Jonny Evans in the draw against Ipswich , which marked the coach’s debut in charge of Manchester United .
«I think decision-making is a concern, you don’t need to train them at that level. You need to keep the ball and know when to put it forward. Sometimes we feel like we can’t keep the ball and we put it in front,” he began by telling Sky Sports, before targeting the Dutch striker, who played 10, behind Hojlund.
«Then at the end of the game we are around the area with two attackers. Josh [Zirkzee] has to realize that he has to go into the box so we can cross. We are doing things out of the right moment, it is something we have to resolve”, he highlighted, adding: “They talk about 3x4x3, but the concern is not the system, but the understanding of the game, that is where we have to improve a lot.”
Jonny Evans didn’t escape notice either: «If you watch the first part, we were a bit scared. Number 5 [Sam Morsy] was always alone, we have to be on top of him. Hutchinson was always in dead space, Jonny Evans should have been putting pressure on him.’
