1) Amorim has to instil a work ethic into his players
The new head coach was barracking his players for not pressing enough in the closing stages of the match at Portman Road.
Diogo Dalot said that there are four key principles that Amorim has demanded in their opening few training sessions – track back, work hard, give an option to teammates and don’t be afraid to take possession of the ball.
They are very straightforward demands but, based on the evidence against Ipswich, they have yet to fully take on board the message.
United’s players ran a total of 102km at the weekend, which is the second lowest they have recorded in a game this season. Considering they were supposed to be trying to impress their new manager, that is a concern.
