“Congratulations to the players for the performance but not for the result.” He added.
Amorim also spoke about Joshua Zirkzee's futurewhich was Linked with a move away from United in January After a difficult first few months at Old Trafford.
“I want to keep Josh because he is giving everything he can and trying in training but we don't know. The window is open and we will see what happens. We just need to focus on training and take advantage of that in the other matches. It's just one point, so let's focus on performing in the next matches.” .

According to a new report from Spain, amid Mbeumo’s good performance, Manchester United are now prepared to pay £42m to bring him to Old Trafford this month. The publication claims that Amorim sees Mbeumu as the answer to United's attacking struggles this season, with his side scoring just 23 goals in 20 Premier League matches.
However, Brentford would be reluctant to accept United's bid for Mbeumo, as Thomas Frank considers him an “irreplaceable” part of his squad.
Earlier this season, Frank praised Mbeumo, He described it as “unbelievable.”. He also said that he expects the 25-year-old to one day leave GTech Stadium.
“He is a top player. I am convinced he will play for a bigger club. I would buy him if I was at a bigger club. We convinced him to stay and he is very happy. All our players might need to leave one for us.” Today but a lot of them are happy because we have a great environment, with good people and we push each other.”
