Arne Slot was impressed with what he saw as Man Utd drew 2-2 with Liverpool FC in the Premier League on Sunday.

Amorim’s system means United are often outnumbered in the middle of the park against three-man midfields. Whatever partnership plays there needs the legs to cover space, laterally as well as up and down. Mainoo and Ugarte give United exactly that.

Ruben Amorim has been struggling as Manchester United boss and his reaction to a wild 2-2 draw at Liverpool on Sunday said it all. He was very happy with the performance and so many of his players put in a spirited, focused and committed display. But he was angry he hasn’t seen it more often since he arrived a few months ago.
