At 0:30 in the morning on October 26, in the ninth round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester United will face Brighton at the Old Trafford Stadium. Before the game, Red Devils coach Amorim attended the press conference. He talked about s...
About the team's injury situation
- We have some questions. Maguire and Mount encountered some problems this week. Although they are not serious, there are still some questions. We need to take a look tomorrow. Lisandro Martinez is out and others are ready.
About Brighton
- This will be a very difficult game. Brighton's game was very exciting, their offensive organization was very good, their offensive and defensive transitions were also very good, and they performed well in all aspects of the game. They've been great at set pieces this season, so they're a very well-rounded team.
We need to approach this game very smartly and focus on everything we do because they are a very strong team. You can see it in the way they play. They are very focused and their strength cannot be underestimated. Even under pressure, they have confidence in their performance, so I'm a big fan of him (Herzeller).
About Liverpool
- We are in a good spirit to win the game and we know it is a good weekend for us but our focus is on the next game. That's the past now and we need to understand that the world of football is changing very quickly, especially at a club like Brighton, so we won't be thinking about the last game, we'll be focusing on this game and it's going to be very tough to win.
About B Fee
- He was a little different than I expected, and sometimes the information you read about a player isn't entirely accurate. You can understand his frustration because he desperately wants to help his teammates. Sometimes it's not the best way, but he has good intentions and you can't feel that when you're not here, and he's always eager to take responsibility.
Every time the team lost, he was in great pain, every time we didn't win a game, you could feel it - he took it as a personal responsibility - as he should be as captain. He's a great leader and a great football player and let's see if he can reach that milestone tomorrow.
About the victory
- First of all, during the game we were very focused on the present and adjusted our game as needed. Although we have a fixed playing style, we will adjust it according to the actual situation. You could feel the difference between the first half and the second half against Sunderland and we knew how to deal with that.
Against Liverpool we scored on our first attack and then we controlled the tempo and changed our play as needed - that was a good performance. Also, we have a good team spirit which sometimes brings some of the luck needed to win games.
About Maguire
- We are very happy with Maguire. Now is not the time to talk about his contract because that would make it seem like we are thinking about something very far away. We're really happy with Maguire, he's very important for us, but we just have to focus on the next game.
About Lisandro Martinez
- I don’t know when he will be healthy again. He is training very well, although he is not with us, but in the side field, but I have been paying attention to his training. He feels good and responds well. I don’t want to say a specific day or a week from now, but he’s close to training with the team. Whether he earns a spot or not after that will depend on his rhythm, which is entirely up to him, but he is getting closer and closer to returning to training together.
Questions about the media
- We cannot change too much. I think the last question they asked was about the top four and I didn't want it to change too much because of the 20cm difference. If Gakpo's shot missed by 20 centimeters, the media narrative would have been completely different. I just wanted to stay calm and keep going in the direction we were going.
If you are a manager at a club like this and you don't win many games, people will naturally be suspicious of you, and they have reason to be. But my point is that we need to be clear about our path and not change it easily just because we win a game.
Let’s talk about Maguire’s situation
– playing with three central defenders will help him, I think he feels more comfortable. Because he stands in the middle and does not need to move to the wing frequently, sometimes the team's tactical arrangements can help players perform better. Of course, for some players the opposite may be true.
I'm very happy to see his performance. Although he is no longer a young player, he can still learn a lot and continue to improve. I think he can do better with the ball because he has the ability and needs to show it.
Every team now puts a lot of players into the penalty area at set pieces, and the same goes for every cross the opponent makes. He's an important part of our team and I'm very happy with his performance, but that game and that goal are in the past and now let's focus on the present and the future.
