Ruben Amorim has no interest in Arne Slot’s assessment of Man Utd display

Ruben Amorim does not care what Arne Slot has to say about his Manchester United team after the Liverpool boss spoke of low blocks and long balls following last weekend’s Anfield encounter.

The Red Devils celebrated a first victory on enemy turf since 2016 as Harry Maguire’s late header sealed a 2-1 win shortly after Cody Gakpo had cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo’s early opener.

It was Liverpool’s fourth straight loss in all competitions and boss Slot said afterwards that “it is always difficult to play against a team that defends in a low block and mainly plays the long ball.”

But such comments are water off a duck’s back to Amorim, who had no interest in the Dutchman’s assessment.

“Liverpool is in the past, I don’t want to comment,” he said ahead of United’s home game against Brighton. “That is not important.

“Important is what Fabian (Hurzeler) said to try to understand what is going to happen (against Brighton).

“I understand everything. I am really pleased that the team can play different games.

“It was an important win, but I was the first one to say that we need to play better with the ball. So, I don’t care what Slot is saying, what people are saying about our team.

“I can evaluate my team and I am really clear that we should play better with the ball. We are going to try to do that in this game.”
