Ruben Amorim has told Manchester United players they should be more cruel in front of goal if they want to continue their journey in the Europa League after a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad.
The Red Devils were held to a draw at San Sebastian after Joshua Zirkzee's opener was equalized by Mikel Oyarzabal's penalty in the first leg of the Europa League last 16, Friday, March 7, 2025, early morning WIB.
Amorim's side had enough chances to win the game, but they returned to Manchester for next week's second leg game with things still not safe.
"We created chances, but sometimes you don't see them in xG (the expected goal) because we didn't open fire. That's a great opportunity to be there and you can see them."
"We have a transition, we have a situation and sometimes we lose something."
"It can change something, especially in games like this where we need goals that can make a difference," said the head coach Manchester United.

Manchester United's disappointment in front of goal was summarized by an argument between Diogo Dalot and Rasmus Hojlund.
Dalot had a chance to cross Hojlund, but instead decided to pass the ball backwards which sparked a brief fight between the two players.
"One thing is for sure is that they really want to score goals and win matches."
"They all did their best, but didn't decide on the best way in their position."
"It was a clear position. Rasmus did very well, Dalot did very well."
"The decision is not the best. The important thing is to keep going and not fight. Let's continue to the next match," said Amorim.
