Amorim: Lisandro can t play yet, we will see how effective the partnership between Amad and Mbemo is

October 30 News At 23:00 on November 1, in the 10th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester United will play away to Nottingham Forest. Before the game, Red Devils coach Amorim attended the press conference. He talked about some of the team's current situation.

About Lisandro Martinez's recovery

- He hopes to participate in this game, but he cannot play yet and he still needs time to recover. He has started training with us and things will slowly get better. This is very helpful for our training and he gives us some advantages in every training session. As for the rest of the team, we still have a few days. I'm not sure about Maguire but everyone else is fit.

On my first year at Manchester United

- it was a journey, a difficult journey, and I learned a lot. My answer is different today than it was three weeks ago, so it's important to understand that. That's just two games so far.

About Nottingham Forest

- I watched their last game and it was one of the first games we won here and we were very lucky in that game. I also watched their games against Porto and Bournemouth and they played in a similar style but with different player characteristics. I also watched a game they played in pre-season against Sporting CP to see how they performed in that game.

In general, their styles are similar, but they can change some characteristics according to the talents of the players, especially outstanding players such as Gibbs White, Anderson and Odoi. So we need to prepare for a different game than Brighton, where we had a lot of space to play but not as much against Forest.

We must understand that our performance on the road and at home is different, so we need to improve the way we control the game environment. Every fight will be the focus of the opponent's fans, so we need to perform better in away games and we are ready for a tough game.

About the pairing of Amad and Mbemo

- We will have some difficult moments, but we already know this is an opportunity. Judging from training, some players should play, but with only one game, it is difficult to let all players who perform well play. So other players will have opportunities to help us.

They are understanding the way we want to play, and if we improve in that area, changes in player characteristics will not change the overall philosophy or momentum of the team. Let's use Amad and Mbemo in the next game and see how the overall effect is.

Ditch says he can win more than you

- First of all, if we play a 4-4-2, maybe he's telling the truth. We won more than before but I have always said I have a way of playing that will take time to bear fruit but will be better in the future. So it's not clear yet, I can look at Dyche from a coaching perspective or I can look at it from a commentator's perspective.

If you are a commentator and you don’t say something exciting, I don’t want to watch you! So am I. So I can understand that it's a completely different job. I know Dyche is very smart and he knows how to play the game. He also understands that watching games and talking about them is one thing, coaching a team is another. I understand that, I have nothing else to say, I just want to win the next game.
