Amorin: We are better than last time we beat Manchester City. The standings are not important

September 12th September 14th at 23:30, a focus match in the 4th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester United will play away against Manchester City. Before this Manchester City derby, Red Devils coach Amorin attended the press conference and talked about some of the team's current situation.

Regarding Cunya, Mount and Dalot

- They can't play in this game, I don't know how long they will need to recover. We need these players to build a competitive team. We have very good players who are eager to play so we will be competitive on Sunday. But these players are unable to play.

How long will these players be absent?

-I don't want to say that if you meet Cunia outside and ask him, he will say he can play this game. They really worked very hard. So I don't know, we'll watch the situation every day, but they're really working very hard, and that's a good thing.

Regarding the goalkeeper's choice

- I believe Bainder, he is ready and he will play.

About Manchester City

- They are a top team, with the best coach in this league, it's really hard to imagine how they will play. We are ready and we trust our team. It will be a very good game, we know what to do, and we have more training as well. As for the current situation in the standings (Manchester United leads Manchester City), this doesn't matter.

Have Manchester United improved after the last victory at the Etihad Stadium?

- I think we are a better team, and we are doing better in any aspect of the data. We're ready for this game, but we need to show it on Monday (the game is on Sunday).

About Lamons

-We are very happy that he is a goalkeeper with great potential. Currently we need a goalkeeper with strong and experienced, but at the same time we must also look at the future. Therefore, both aspects need to be taken into account, and I believe he will be ready.

Why sign Lamens?

- Sometimes, as a club, you will try different options, one by one. We have a choice that can bring us different results, and he has great potential to be our goalkeeper in the next few years.

Will the starter against Manchester City Baindel?

-Yes.

How did you make this decision?

--The same way I do when dealing with different positions, Baindel will continue to stay in the team. This is a different league, different countries, different training, and different football, and they will fight for this position.

Show confidence in Baindel?

- I think sometimes it has something to do with Onana's situation, who had a very good season at Inter Milan, and his strength is beyond doubt, but at the club things sometimes get more and more difficult. In this club, there is a lot of pressure on all aspects, and sometimes you need to make changes. I believe Baindel is ready to play.

About youth training players setting team history record

- We want to maintain this tradition, and I don't want to be the one who breaks this record. Looking at Manchester United's history, this should be our goal in the future, so we should work hard to keep that up.

Have you talked to Viana?

-We have different jobs and we play in different clubs. We don't talk about football, I'm from the Red team, he's from the Blue team, but we're really close friends, that won't change.

About Onana

- Onana could have stayed in the team, but I think, as a club, we understand that the situation needs to change. Sometimes it is difficult to explain the reason clearly. His performance, his situation at that time, and his bad luck at certain moments make him feel uncomfortable. Our idea is to make changes in the goalkeeper position, but I wish Onana the best. He works very hard and can help other players, but sometimes you need to change the environment.
