Manchester United managed a 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday
Amorim was pushed as to whether the situation would remain the same if Rashford stayed at United after the closure of the window on February 3rd, which led him to thrust Jorge Vital, his veteran goalkeeping coach, into the spotlight.
“It’s the same situation for every player,” Amorim said. “If you do the maximum, if you do the right things ... we can use every player. You can see it today on the bench – we miss a little bit of pace to go, to change the game, to move some pieces, but I prefer like that. I will put Vital before I put a player that doesn’t give the maximum every day so I will not change in that.”
Amorim turns 40 on Monday and he joked: “It’s not 40, I’m 50. After two months at Manchester United, it’s 50. You cannot see a great improvement in the team and that is a fact. But to win helps us to improve. We’ve had some lack of luck in some games. Today was not the best match but we managed to win.
