Ruben Amorim called for patience from Manchester United fans as he warned that his team will ‘suffer for a long period’ as he gets them to understand his tactics.
United showed flashes of promise in their draw at Ipswich Town but also showed plenty of familiar bad habits that Amorim conceded will take a lot longer than a week or two to iron out.
‘It’s hard to expect anything now,’ he said.
‘It’s not a surprise [that players struggled] but you have to see it in game. That’s why I was a little bit anxious.
‘We have to find a way [to get ideas across quickly]. The only way to do it is that we have games and the guys that don’t play have to train.
‘Without time we have to find the time and that is the only way. Some of the guys will play and the next day some of the guys will work on our idea. And then they will change the position.
