about Ayden, Dorgu's had a good game tonight. All the players in the summer feel like they're contributing and improving the team. Why has recruitment been been right?

"I don't know. Sometimes you need a little bit of luck. I think they have potential to do more. I think we are doing things that sometimes I have one idea. Then Jason [Wilcox\] and the board has another idea and every decision that we make, we need to reach a common ground. And that is really important because you don't need to make everything for the manager, because the manager can change and you need to change everything, but you also need to understand that the manager understands the way of playing. And we are trying, every player that comes here, we will try to, if you don't reach common ground, the player will not come. So we just try to do that. We try to make all the assessments of how they live, how they train the characteristics, and I think we did well. But I think they have more to give. And if you talk about [Matheus\] Cunha, for example, Ayden is a young guy, Cunha and Bryan [Mbeumo\], they are from here, from our league. So it's easier for them to perform."

Ruben, you've used different formations in recent weeks, different systems. You've used different players in different positions in those systems. You've used players who haven't played for a long time yet. Everyone seems to be on the same page in these last few matches. From your perspective, how satisfying is it that the coaching that you've done as a team over this time seems to be having an effect on so many different players in so many different ways?  

"First of all, it is a process. When I came here last season, I understood that maybe I don't have the players to play well in that system, but it was the beginning of the process. We are trying to build an identity. Today is a different moment. We don't have a lot of players. We need to adapt, but they already know that. They understand why we are changing. It's not because of the pressure of you guys or from the fans. It's because now we understand the way we want to play and the principles are the same. We can change the system and I think we are going to become a better team. Because when all the players return, we are not going to play all the time with three defenders. We are going to improve. But that was something that [we\] was talking about. But then when you talk about changing the system all the time, I cannot change because the players will understand that I'm changing because of you. And I think that is the end for the manager. So, when we are playing well in our system, I think that is the moment to change if it's the better thing to win the next game. That is what we did today."
 
How pleasing is it that you seem to be having the surprise effect when you are lining up on the opposition again today? Another team trying to work out what to do in that opening 10-15 minutes spell?

"Today we already knew that the way they will jump in the pressure and that will be massive. I remember the game from last year. I think they have more physicality if we go into a back five. They already knew the player that [they\] need to jump to and transform that game in one against one, one against one against this team. I think we will lose. I'm just trying to improve and all the mistakes that I did in the last season, I am trying to learn a little bit and to change things."

Ruben on Bruno. Previously you've talked and spoken about how he's a leader and he's invested in the team. How important is he now, even though he's not playing, speaking to the players, whatever it is, delivering your messages?

"He cannot be that guy that is not playing, not talking and not speaking. He's always speaking. That's why he's the captain and he has bad things sometimes the way [he\] moves his arms. But he has a lot of good things and he's always leaving the game, the practice every time, every time he makes recovery from the game, he's the guy that is going to watch the other guys training in that day. So there is a lot of

things that you guys don't see that he does. He's a great leader now."

So even when he can't play, is he there? 

"Yeah, all the time. He's the guy that is watching the trainings even after treatment and is going [out\] there. I don't know if he wants my job or not, but he's a leader. The guy is a leader."

Post Match Quotes Amorim: "We struggled in all the game. We had a lack of creation but we already knew it would be a different game to Newcastle. We had a different energy during the game. In the 90 minutes we had our chances but the fluidity offensively wasn't there. There's a lack of connection"

# Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim says Joshua Zirkzee substitution was 'tactical'. [Simon Stone\]

Ruben Amorim looks ahead to second half of the season with ManUtd: "I am really confident we will be a strong team. We just need to recover all the players." On if anyone will be back for Leeds game: "I need to check. I am not going to risk anyone being out for a month." [Simon Stone\]

Ruben Amorim "doesn't know" whether players will return to face Leeds. He added he doesn't want to take risks [Railston\]

'Lack of connection'

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to Sky Sports:

"We struggled in all the game. We had a lack of creation but we already knew it would be a different game to Newcastle. We had a different energy during the game. Looking at the 90 minutes we had our chances but the fluidity offensively wasn't there. There is a lack of connections at the moment.

"Completely different game to the last one. We had more men behind the ball, when you have that you have to work harder to create more, have imagination and play the game in a different way. We lacked that today.

"They tried. We didn't play well. When you don't play well with the ball you struggle without it. We need to recover and go to the next one."

On bringing Joshua Zirkzee off: "We were running around trying to get hold of the ball. We were struggling with their midfielders, and sometimes you can attack better with less strikers. We played with three strikers and sometimes that's not the best thing to attack well.

"This game is over, you can not change the result of this one but you can move on and go to the next one."

'Quality was not there'

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to BBC MOTD: "Strange game. We knew it would be a different game to Newcastle. We needed more imagination today to create chances. We struggled in the first half trying to steal the ball. They put a lot of men in the midfield. We tried but the quality was not there. We need to recover to the next one."

Missing players? "Not using anything as an excuse. We tried to put two strikers in and then conceded from a set piece. Today was not our day."

On conceding just before the break: "We need to work on that because it's not the first time. The fluidity of the game was not there. We tried.

"We tried to overload one side but in Premier League you need one v one and you need that and we didn't have it today.

"We don't have the guys that play outside - we tried to overload the middle but today was not our day.

"Even against Everton it was three points lost, West Ham was two points lost. Always frustrating. Football is like that. If you focus on the performance, we struggled today."

# Lisandro Martinez

'We have to win when we play at home'

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez speaking to Sky Sports: "Really disappointed. We can't come here at home and draw this game. We have to win when we play at home. The opponent has to suffer and we didn't get the three points. Very frustrating. The team gave everything. Just for a few moments, we conceded in the last moment of the first half, that can happen. We can deserve that, it's our responsibility.

"We played well with the ball in the first half but then we dropped too much, couldn't press their centre backs. They were comfortable with the ball and they started moving round and creating spaces. Wolves don't deserve the place they are, it's a strong team. We respect them. We have to take more risks.

"The lads are very disappointed, we expect better. We have to take it and accept it and go for the next one."
