Ruben Amorim said he would learn more about his players in the match against Southampton who are now at the bottom of the Premier League standings.
The reason is that Manchester United are now under pressure to win after challenging all obstacles by playing a 2-2 draw at Liverpool headquarters and beating Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup despite playing with 10 players.
He also warned his players that they would be watching closely how they play when they are under pressure to win the game.
"I think the next game will teach me more than my players than the last two games," Amorim told a news conference on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
"I'm focused on seeing what the game is like (against Southampton)."
"We will know (on Friday). There are no expectations for us in the last two games."

"No one expected it, but now they expect us to win and play well. So, we will learn more," said Amorim.
The Red Devils have secured positive results against Liverpool and Arsenal outside Old Trafford.
However, they have not won a home game since beating Everton on December 1, 2024.
They have lost their last three games at Old Trafford and have not lost more in top home games in a row since 1930.
Meanwhile, Amoram was also asked if he could recall Marcus Rashford against Southampton.
"I just want to win. My focus is to win tomorrow. I will choose the player I think is best to win tomorrow," he said.
Amoriam tidak memasuk Rashford, yang siap meninggalkan klub bulan ini, pada saat timnya sedang tidak produktif dalam urusan gol.
They have scored only 23 goals in the league this season, the same number as Leicester who are in 19th position in the standings.
"The hardest thing to train in a team is the way you build games with balls and in the final third of the way we play."
"That's what big teams should do very well. We've been short of goals for a long time. We need to improve the game on that part," Amorim said.
Manchester United will face Southampton at Old Trafford on Friday, January 17, 2025, early morning WIB.
