Ruben Amorim has challenged his players to adapt and embrace new challenges in forward areas, ahead of Friday’s Emirates FA Cup tie against Leicester City.
United have struggled for goals in recent Premier League games, especially at home and in first halves.
Kobbie Mainoo was fielded as a ‘false nine’ during Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace and Amorim suggested we could see more players tasked with fulfilling alternative roles going forward.
Our head coach added that, although new addition Patrick Dorgu will provide a threat from either flank, he needs time to adapt and so others have to step up.
