During the game, Man United had ten shots but did not hit the target once. The hosts were ineffective in their attack without talisman Bruno Fernandes, who was suspended. However, Neville and Carragher have revealed another issue that Amorim is facing.

Carragher showed that when Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui start at right wing back, the team has not scored in open play. However, when Amad Diallo or Antony was featured in the position, nine goals were created from open play. Carragher claimed that the two more defensive-minded full-backs lack the "urgency" to get up the pitch.

He added: "The manager has said he's not for changing his system and I think he is right to do that, not to sort of adapt. "He's been brought in for a reason, to play that system and to provide at United what he provided in Lisbon with Sporting and the success they had.
