Rubem Amorim is aware of Manchester United's goal-scoring issues but remains optimistic about resolving them. As he prepares for his first home game at Old Trafford, Amorim aims to lead the team to victory against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. United recently drew 1-1 with Ipswich Town, despite dominating possession.

In their recent match against Ipswich, United had nearly 60% possession but managed only four shots on target. Their expected goals (xG) were 0.8, compared to Ipswich's 1.59. In the Premier League, only Everton and the bottom two teams have scored fewer than United's 13 goals this season.

Amorim expressed his concerns about the team's scoring ability but remains hopeful. "We have quality players that can score so many goals," he stated before facing the Norwegian side. He emphasised the need for improvement among players like Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, and Bruno Fernandes.

The manager plans to rotate his squad as he prepares for his debut at Old Trafford. "We have to do it, especially in this moment, because we have a lot of games," Amorim explained. He wants every player to feel involved and understand the team's strategy.

Bruno Fernandes acknowledged that players share responsibility for Erik ten Hag's departure last month. He stressed that changing managers mid-season indicates issues within the team. "If things are not going as you want, then everyone has to take the blame," Fernandes remarked.

Looking Forward Under New Leadership

Fernandes also highlighted the importance of adapting quickly to Amorim's ideas. The focus is now on future prospects and aligning with the new manager's vision. Amorim aims to bring joy to fans by winning matches and creating a cohesive team environment.

The upcoming match at Old Trafford represents a fresh start for both Amorim and Manchester United. While there may be initial nerves before kickoff, Amorim is determined to secure a win and deliver happiness to supporters.
