I agree with you, Manchester United's performance has improved from the friendly games we've seen so far. Of course, there are some issues at the club that the manager must address before the season starts in a few weeks, otherwise, they will continue to struggle in the Premier League. Manchester United continues to have a poor defensive, conceding unnecessary goals in games where they should be keeping a clean sheet, like yesterday match against Everton, where some mistakes were made by the goalkeeper.
Furthermore, Amorim is not putting some of his players in positions where they are most comfortable. I do not expect Amad and Mbuemo to start a match at the same time, instead I expect Amad and Mbuemo to compete for the position so that we can see goals and the best from both players. I don't expect to see this type of formation in the Premier League games, he must use their defense to prevent them from conceding goals. They cannot win a single match without a penalty.
Yesterday game was very poor and i blame the captain Bruno Fernandez and the coach Amorim for the poor performance. The made a very poor fixture, putting your keys players in the squard and playing them out of position was a bad decision from him. Then Bruno was just losing control of the ball, shouting and making poor passes.
I think coach Amorims needs to play those that are eager to play for the club, and he should play those that can deliver not by big names. To me the keeper was good he made no mistake and he made good saves. The defense is lacking a defensive midfielder, that is one key position that is lacking in the squad.
