• IF YOU TRAIN HARD, YOU WILL HAVE THE CHANCE — NO FAVORITISM! What Ruben Amorim has showed us as fans and what players need to understand is that if they don’t train hard enough in training they will not be on the squad. Take example of Antony who today had a chance to start before players like Garnacho, Amad or Zirkzee in the 10th position, or take Eriksen for example as he played on the first game under Amorim against Ipswich Town but had a terrible game — Then he was benched against Bodo and was not invited in the squad for the win against Everton at home because he had a fall off in training. One thing is for sure under Amorim, he will always do rotations in his starting eleven till he finds the players that he can trust, some players are already there like Bruno, Ugarte & Mazraoui. #MUFC

• THERE ARE PLAYERS ON OUR SQUAD THAT ARE NOT WORTHY OF UNITED SHIRT! We all know that a massive overhaul of the squad needs to be done in the next 2/3 transfer windows, but there are some players that are not worthy of our shirt. •Altay Bayindir — I never understood what is his best attribute as goalkeeper, not good enough with his hands and not good enough with the ball in his legs. Victor Lindelof — Even though he picked up an injury in the last seconds of the first half, we can see from the first minute that he is no where near the quality of being a starter in United shirt with multiple mistakes on those minutes. Jonny Evans — Legend of the club, one of the best center-backs we had in the last 10-15 years but time has come for him to retire as he can’t cope with the intensity of the Amorim style. There where also some players that where played out of their usual position with Antony and Dalot with the last one having an okay game in general. It has to be said also that Lisandro Martinez has had a difficult game tonight with the second goal of Spurs not clearing the ball far away and also in the third goal not being tight enough with Solanke. #MUFC

• SPOT ON SUBSTITUTES FROM AMORIM AGAIN! We where losing 3-0 and where without no ideas at that moment, and Amorim introduced Amad, Zirkzee and Mainoo for Hojlund, Antony & Eriksen and in just 7 minutes we scored two goals quick goals and brought the game to 3-2. Later one he introduced Garnacho in the game with the goal of pressuring Spurs and go for the third goal, and we did pressure Spurs for more than 20/25 minutes and where all over them, but we where unlucky not to find the third goal and take this game to penalties. #MUFC

• AMORIM VALUES PREMIER LEAGUE MORE THAN CUPS — WE HAVE TO IMPROVE ON SET-PIECES! What we have learned from Amorim in the eight games so far under him is that he is not a ‘’Cup guy’’ as he tends to pick the best players in the Premier League games and give chances to other players to impress him on Cup/Europa League games. I bet it would be whole different game if Amad, Mainoo & Onana have started the game from the beginning. One other aspect of the game that we need to improve is set-pices, we have been terrible this season especially when defending. The first goal of Tottenham even though is not direct set-piece it was a faul at the edge of the box and the way our defenders lineup to defend that was not good enough. The fourth goal of Spurs was a faul on goalkeeper all day long even though he needs to be stronger with his hands. #MUFC

• AMAD & UGARTE ARE THE BLUEPRINT OF WHAT AMORIM WANTS FROM HIS PLAYERS! Manuel Ugarte and Amad Diallo are both the perfect example of what Amorim wants from his players — Intensity, playing for the badge and fighting for every ball in the game. We need to see more players step-up their game just like this two have done in the last 2-3 weeks, and if you ever doubted or wondered what kind of players Amorim likes then here you go, they are the blueprint of the perfect player under Amorim system. #MUFC
