But the former United boss immediately triggered Red Devils fans during his post-match interview. Sign up for the Man United newsletter Thank you! Amorim, who was brutally sacked by Old Trafford chiefs in January, said: “We knew we would suffer a little, but we want to put our players through this kind of challenge. “They know how to defend as a team, play one-on-one and press high. Against teams like Chelsea, we would never press in this way. “But we are here to prepare ourselves to win the first official match of the season and give the players confidence. “We also had a lot of young players in the squad. We are following the right path to put the team in a position to win the first official match of the season.” Amorim warned United supporters to expect to “suffer” just days after being handed the Old Trafford reins. And he repeated the message several times before the Red Devils wielded the axe.
