Coach Amorim began the interview by saying, "It's important that people look at the goals scored in this match because we were under a lot of pressure last season."

"But it's not just about the goals; the way Hojlund links up play is what's really important. Whenever Man United have to clear long balls when under pressure, he holds the defenders, acts as a anchor, and connects with the back line, which helps us play better. And Man United are playing better because of him," the Man Utd manager emphasized Hojlund's role.

Not stopping there, coach Amorim continued to praise the number 9 striker: "I am really happy with Hojlund. What's important is that he's scoring goals, connecting very well with his teammates and improving."

However, the Portuguese strategist was also quite cautious when discussing the future of the striker position: "I don't know what will happen between now and the transfer window closes. The important thing is that the current strikers are all working very hard and improving."

Besides Rasmus Hojlund's impressive performance, Amorim also praised the team's overall performance in the recent match. The 40-year-old strategist shared: "I think it was a good game. We played with high intensity, pressing aggressively, which is an improvement compared to last season."

Concluding the interview, coach Amorim expressed optimism about Manchester United's current situation: "We controlled Evanilson and Semenyo's movements quite well in one-on-one situations. Luke Shaw also played very solidly. It was a positive day. Although it was only a pre-season friendly, with the same players, the team feels completely different now compared to before."
