Ruben Amorim provides reaction to Leeds United 1 Man Utd 1 04 January 2026

VERDICT ON THE DISPLAY“I think we played well. I think we had more control in this game than we showed against Wolves, that is also important when you prepare [for] the next week, you can run with a different message than we showed in the last game. I think we controlled Leeds quite well, a team that is really strong on set-pieces and with second balls, they are really quick in front and I think we controlled it well. We had our opportunities to win the game, of course, but we are losing games in the details. With the goal of Leeds, we are controlling the game and in one kick with the ball in transition. But we managed to get back into the game, last year it would be completely different. This year we are in control of the games more often than last year, so [it] was a good game, but of course, a little bit frustrated for us not to win.”

DEFENSIVE MOMENTS

“If you look at either Ayden [Heaven] or Leny [Yoro], they are really young. Also [the goal] was not because of that. If you play so well during 90 minutes, you have mistakes that can happen with Ayden or with Harry Maguire, who is really experienced. These things are going to happen. If you look at the game, we have chances to score the second one to win the game and then nobody will be talking about the goal of Leeds.”
