Ruben Amorim reflected on a 2-1 loss for Man United against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
A Morgan Rogers brace bagged the three points for the high flying Villans while Amorim’s men must deal with the blow of an injury to their captain as well as more lost ground on the top four.
"We did really well. I think we were the better team today. We created our chances, we have been really consistent in the way we create our chances and we have defended well. We left one against one most of the time and we tried to recover really fast. We played well but the frustration is still there. We need to take the good things into the next one.
"Today, we defended well. Rogers can go both sides, so it is really hard to defend against a player like that one-against-one. Against Nottingham Forest, we let in so many shots but today is different.
“We tried to recover the ball and we did well. Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven defended so well, and Luke Shaw the same. It is not always that you suffer goals, it’s how you suffer goals. The first one he [Rogers] did well. The second, he gets the rebound and scores. It’s the details and it can change the narrative. We defended well."
“I don’t know [about Bruno’s injury], I think he is going to lose some games but I don’t know for sure. You can’t control these things, I don’t want to talk too much about the matter, but this is a guy who is always fit and he has shown he can always recover.
"[Benjamin Sesko] has returned really fast, he is going to improve a lot. The idea was 70, maybe 75, minutes. We are trying to control everything. He did well, he fought a lot and he is going to do well.
“I will see. I think Kobbie Mainoo is out, but we will see. We are going to find solutions. No excuses, we need to win the next game and we are going to try to win the next game.
“We have to find different solutions. Last year, we had the same issue. When you have that experience, maybe it doesn’t look so bad. We know, without all these players, that we are going to suffer. We are going to try
“What we cannot do is reach January and try to do everything with urgency and make mistakes again and be left saying 'here we go again'. I am not going to go to Jason [Wilcox, director of football] and say we need a lot of players.
“If we have to suffer, the club comes first. Of course, we are in the moment that we need points, but we are going to continue with our plan. In this moment, you may feel we are going to struggle, but we will see.”
