Manchester United: The mounting problems facing Ruben Amorim

During the early weeks of Amorim’s reign, the former Sporting boss bemoaned the lack of time he had been to spend with his players on the training ground.

However with a less packed schedule with qualification for the Europa League knockout stages assured and a Carabao Cup exit at Tottenham’s hands, Amorim has been able to spend more time on the training ground.

But a “free week” before Sunday’s trip to Tottenham proved anything but productive.

Between the 2-1 win against Leicester City in the FA Cup on 7 February and Sunday’s loss to Spurs, United lost six players.

Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer were ruled out of the trip through injury, while Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen fell ill.

Their absences added to the long-term casualties of Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans.

It meant Amorim was forced to name an inexperienced bench against Spurs of with Victor Lindelof joined by Elyh Harrison, Harry Amass, Tyler Fredricson, Jack Fletcher, Jack Moorhouse, Chido Obi, Ayden Heaven and Sekou Kone.

Sweden defender Lindelof was the only one of those to have previously played for the first team.
