Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim demanded more urgency from his players when it comes to defending, urging them to ‘put everything on the line’ ahead of the English Premier League clash against a high-flying Aston Villa side.
The Red Devils conceded four goals to Bournemouth last weekend, and were lucky to escape with a draw. Amorim believes each of those goals could have been avoided with more vigilant defending. “We watch the game again against Bournemouth we can avoid those goals. There was a lot of transition and we have to put everything on the line when we’re defending and sometimes we’re not doing that,” said Amorim.
