Amorin hints that Manchester United starts against Manchester City Seschko! Hoylund puts pressure from a distance and scores in his first appearance to become the best

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorin hints that Benjamin Scheshko may start against Manchester City. The new center, who joined 85 million euros, has not played a starter in the Premier League so far, but the injury of Cunha and Mason Mount may be his opportunity.

Absent from most of the pre-season training camp, Amorin decided to let Seshko sit on the bench in his first league game against Arsenal, and the 22-year-old Slovenian striker then made a substitute against Fulham and Burnley. He started in the League Cup with Grimsby, but he couldn't score a goal, and the team was out in a surprise.

At the pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, when asked about his opinion on Sheschko's state, Amorin hinted that he might have a first Premier League start in the Manchester derby. "I think it's more important than studying his performance in the game, what he can bring to the team," Amorin analyzed. "In the game against Burnley, you can see that he has some outstanding performances, especially in the penalty area, which Joshua (Zirkeze), Mattus (Cunya), and even Rasmus (Hoylund) in the past can't do. Now, there's a player in our team who can rush into the penalty area to head the ball."

Amorin added: "He runs very fast, we need to get him more." He will take on the role of runner, and his performance will get better and better. So we have to slowly adapt to this style of play. The pace of the game is different now, but he will also gradually adapt. However, in the game against Manchester City, it may be a good opportunity to start. "

In the first three rounds of the Premier League this season, Manchester United adopted the strikerless tactic. Cunya, Mbemo and Mount served as the forward combination of 343, but two of them were injured and absent. Amorin will have to change the candidates and even directly change the forward structure. Mbemo, Sheshko and Bruno Fernandez may become tridents of the derby battle.

Last season, Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-1 away, with Amad Diallo winning the final moment of the game, and the 40 million euro winger may also be a contender for the starting lineup. Asked whether that victory raised Manchester United's expectations, Amorin said: "I don't know. It's hard to say that the problem last season was from a game, we had many such moments. Now we only focus on the future. Now Manchester United has 4 points, I think it should be more, but we need to remain truly competitive. For everyone here, this is a very important game, especially for our fans, so we will try our best to do our best."

Manchester City had suffered two consecutive Premier League defeats before, and their points were 1 point less than Manchester United. When asked who is more stressed by himself or Guardiola, Amorin replied: "No, you can't compare. Guardiola has been winning all the time, and he can relax even if he doesn't win anymore. I have to prove my value here every day, and I have a deep understanding. Therefore, I I feel very calm, I have to do better every day when I come here. Comparing me with Guardiola's situation? That's a joke, haha."

Amorin admits that Manchester United's problems are not solved: "I think we have more serious problems, which are constantly increasing, but we are trying to solve every problem. Sometimes we feel frustrated and angry... but we are really facing all of these problems. We are working hard to improve, and I see the team performing much better now. We just need to deal with the game more calmly and decisively, win more games, and then everything will be easier."

The pressure of Manchester United comes from all directions, such as Sheshko faces the contrast brought by former center Hoylund this weekend. The 22-year-old Danish center had to leave the team and transfer to Naples after joining Seschko. Not surprisingly, Hoylund scored less than 15 minutes into the first game.

Naples started the away game smoothly, with De Bruyne scoring a penalty in 7 minutes, and in the 14th minute, Spinazola made a straight pass, and Hoylund, wearing the No. 19 jersey, went to the meeting alone, facing former Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea calmly shot low from the far corner and scored his first goal since returning to Serie A. The defending Serie A champion finally won 3-1, and Hoylund was named the best in the game after the game.

Hoylund celebrates his first goal in the league since April with his new teammates. When playing at Manchester United, Hoylund wasted countless similar sure-scoring opportunities. On social media, many Manchester United fans are happy for Hoylund, but they think their club may be cursed, and many good strikers are unable to score stable goals at Old Trafford. Sheshko is now the latest challenger and needs to break the spell with a goal.
