[Simon Peach] Wolves boss Rob Edwards was asked if he was surprised to see MUFC return to a back three after using a back four on Boxing Day: “No, no. I don't know how many games Ruben’s managed but I think he's overwhelmingly in favour of going with the back three so we went with that one”

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 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."

# Rob Edwards

'A point the least we deserved'


Wolves boss Rob Edwards speaking to Sky Sports: "We had some good chances. At least we take something
from the game, we've had a few good performances - especially away from home - and not got the results so it's progress. Nice to take a point, it's the least we deserved tonight.

"That was the challenge to come here to win. We had a good plan and we really believed. To go 1-0 down here is difficult but we kept fighting, we deserved the goal at the end of the first half I thought we were really good in the first half. Second half they probably had more of the possession. We almost gifted them one and they had the offside goal. We still had a chance in the second half so we could've taken more from the game but the performance level, the quality and desire was there from the players - that's why the fans were happy at the end."

On Ladislav Krejci goal: "We were pushing, we had good numbers. It [the goal\] was well taken. We were pushing, great timing but nothing less than what we deserved. The chances were there but we showed good moments of control, took the ball. You can't come here and just defend so there was a lot to like about the performance. Lots to improve on but progress.

"We've had four away games against top teams, we've had good performances and should have taken more points than what we have. What we have to do now is perform like this at home, that's the challenge to the players. It's been more difficult for us to play there so that's our challenge."

[Press Conference] Ruben Amorim not expecting injured players to return for trip to Leeds on Sunday

"No different issues, we are going to see tomorrow. One more training, I don't think anyone is going to recover but we will see."

Ruben Amorim's Pre-Match Press Conference | Leeds vs Manchester United, PL

**Mark Critchley**

Ruben Amorim not expecting injured players to return for trip to Leeds on Sunday

"No different issues, we are going to see tomorrow. One more training, I don't think anyone is going to recover but we will see."

Amorim on January window: "The transfer window is not going to change. We have no conversations in this moment to have any change in the squad. There is a process, there is an idea that is going to continue."

Amorim on if players have spoken to him about leaving: "No, I don't expect them to come to me to ask \[to leave\]"

**Rob Dawson**

**Ruben Amorim not optimistic about making signings this month: "We have no conversations in this moment to have any change in the squad.** There is a process, there is an idea that is going to continue."

Amorim also not expecting players back before Leeds on Sunday: "We will see tomorrow. I don't think anyone will recover."

**Chris Wheeler**

**Amorim not expecting much activity in the transfer window. 'The transfer window is not going to change. We have no conversation to have any change in the squad.'**

Doesn't expect many players to leave either. Has anyone knocked on his door? 'No, I don’t expect them to come to me to ask \[to leave\].'

Ruben Amorim says he doesn’t expect any injured players back for Leeds on Sunday. ‘We’re going to see tomorrow, I don’t think anyone is going to recover.’

Amorim says his young subs will have to handle the atmosphere. 'They have to. It’s a game in a hostile environment but they need to be ready. They will experience that, it’s going to be hard for every player, even players with lots of experience.'

# Detailed Quotes

# Injury news

>*We are going \[to Leeds\] with no different issues. We shall see tomorrow, we have more training. I don't think anyone is going to recover but we will see.*

# On Leeds rivalry

>*I heard it is a big derby, a great environment, big rivalry but every game in the Premier League is so tough so it is one more game. I know it means a lot to the fans but we need to go there and try to win.*

# Are United making progress?

>*We are playing better when we have the full squad we are clearly attacking better. We have not been good enough in the details. We should have more points in the moment but of course we are always wanting more and, again, we should have more points in the table.*

# Leeds again

>*They have a lot of pace sometimes we struggle with pace. They are confident but we proved we can win any game in any situation, in every context, so we will try to do that again. We know they change the system, they have different players in front. The last game they rotated two players \[Calvert-Lewin, Okafor\] that usually are the starters. So they have good players, good manager, great environment so it is going to be a tough game.*

# Rivalry compared to in Portugal

>*It is different, I have never experienced this one. In Portugal, there is big rivalries, here it's the same. Different environment, different culture but the noise is going to be big. We just have to perform but it is hard to compare different cultures, different derbies, different history. Let's just focus on the game - it is 11 guys vs our 11 in the beginning and we will try to win.*

>*When you play for United you need to be ready for everything. You guys have the best league in the world. Every game now and you see every week there is a lot of draws, you never understand what is going to happen at the end of that week. So it is going to be tough but it is always tough nowadays in the Premier League.*

# January window

>*The transfer window is not going to change. We have no conversations in this moment about having any change in the squad. There is a process, there is an idea that is going to continue.*
*We are near
the Champions League places but we are near also to like 8 teams behind us so let's focus on the next game, just that, and our focus is to win the next game.*

# Academy players

>*We will look to everything but they need to be prepared. You can see the squad, it is impossible and you cannot stretch the players we do not have in the moment. But of course I will try to pick the team that is ready to cope with that and then I will try to read the game and understand what I can do to help them to win the game.*
*They have to \[handle the atmosphere\]. It is a game in a hostile environment but they need to be ready. They need to experience that but it is going to be hard for any player - even the guys with a lot of experience but, again, we have already experienced that. Bilbao last year was amazing, the sound, I know that feeling is completely different but we need to be ready.*

# Have any players asked to leave?

>*No, none have asked. I don't expect them to come to me and ask anything.*
