The Reason Manchester United Striker Is Back Sharp, Rashford: Amorious Demands More

JAKARTA - It's been almost a month Ruben Amorim has led Manchester United. He brought his troops unbeaten in three matches in all the events he led, won twice and drew once.

Changes are starting to appear. The atmosphere system by relying on a 3-4-3 formation is going well. All teams already have an understanding of this pattern.

In the aftermath, a row of Manchester United attackers began to show spurs. Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, until Joshua Zirkzee returned to his sharpness.

Hojlund has scored two goals in three games, Zirkzee has also scored two goals in two games, and Rashford has three goals in three parties.

Rashford, who was initially hit by professionalism problems since the arrival of the atmosphere, has become his favorite child.

He also seemed to trust his new coach so that his performance returned. Rashford leaked that Amorism demands more from strikers so as to regain their best performance.

"(Amorim) is demanding, but giving a push to get your strength out into the game."

"That's when you get a very good team performance. Hopefully, we can build this and keep trying."

"We must continue to strive every day to fulfill his demands," said Rashford.

Despite showing its quality again, Amoram asked his troops, especially strikers, not to be complacent.

"He (Rashford) can do a lot. So, he must continue to grow. He has the ability to do it, he has proven it."

"However, he can play much better, just like any other player. It was a good performance, (but) he had to recover and start thinking about Arsenal," Amorim said of Rashford.

Rashford sounds excited to face the challenge. As is known, Manchester United will travel to Emirates to face Arsenal on Thursday, December 5, 2024 in the morning WIB.

The victory over the Gunners will strengthen public expectations for the club to break into the top four of the Premier League by the end of the season to enter the Champions League.

However, Amorima tried not to make the public too euphoric. He was reluctant to think about the top four positions and emphasized the focus of the performance of the match to the match.

"It would be difficult for me, if I said no (United will not return to the elite European tournament), you would say that I cannot be Manchester United coach. However, I want to be honest with our fans."

"So let's focus on performance, not results. In the end, I've said this many times, I'll be judged based on our position at the end."

"I know that. However, let's focus on the next game and see how it performs," said Amorim.

After a big win over Everton (4-0) on Sunday, December 1, 2024, Manchester United's position rose to ninth place with 19 points.

They are only four points away from Brighton on the fourth or final stage of the Champions League.
