Head coach Ruben Amorim was in no doubt about the disappointment caused by Sunday’s 2-0 home defeat to West Ham United, and, while he’ll be focused on ensuring key players are injury-free and well rested for next Wednesday’s final, there’ll be a burning desire to right some wrongs.
United’s European form has been excellent this season — we’re unbeaten and have netted 14 goals in our last four games — but we’ve been found wanting in league fixtures. The defeat to West Ham was our 17th this season. Amorim will demand better on Friday.
Will he rotate with Europe in mind, or will he seek momentum and rhythm for a potential final starting line-up?
