Amorim “gets anxious” watching his United players

Amorim secured his first victory as Manchester United manager with a 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday.

It was a come-from-behind win for United, as the Norwegian side led 2-1 in the first half.

Hojlund put Manchester United ahead in the 50th minute, scoring from the center after good work on the right.

This caused the Portuguese coach to get “anxious” and “nervous” during the game.

“I get anxious because I don’t know what will happen — you don’t control nothing at the moment — we are trying to see different things,” Amorim told TNT Sports.

“I don’t know the players and we have not worked a lot together. We go to the game excited, but at the same time you are nervous because you don’t know how the game will go.”

United has improved

The win gives United their second win in Europe this season and moves them up to 12th in the league phase standings.

The 39-year-old said he saw improvement against Bodo/Glimt compared to his side’s previous 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

However, Amorim will also implement another changes in his tactics when Everton visit Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.

“I think we have improved from Ipswich and we improved in the quality with the ball,” he said.

“We will have to change players [against Everton]. We tried to press all the time and the last 10 minutes it was tough.

“I felt Rasmus Højlund was dead. I felt some players were tired.

“Antony come back from injury, he had to go out of the game and we did four substitutions because of the fitness of the players. We are in that moment and we need the squad together.”
