Pre-match press conference with Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester United in the Premier League at Molineux Stadium.

Amorim warns that Wolves’ poor form and winless run this season mean “everything can happen”, stressing there is no team in Premier League history that does not eventually win a game and that United must be ready for a tough match despite their opponents sitting bottom of the table.

He repeatedly fields questions about Kobbie Mainoo, explaining that although Mainoo is homegrown and starts for England, “you love Kobbie” does not mean he will play him when he feels he should not, insisting he does not look at names and only chooses the best prepared players to win the game while defending his trust in the academy.

Amorim also reflects on United’s recent setbacks when trying to push into the top four and top five, admitting the team lost control after scoring, especially with second balls, and outlining how players like Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt and Matheus Cunha fit into his plans. He denies the issue is mental, says he felt the environment more anxious than the team when leading, and insists United must improve tactically, be better in the next game and wait until January to see what they are able to do in the transfer market.

00:00I see it and I just want to win.
00:22I try to put the players, I don't look who it is, I don't care about that.
00:27I just try to put the best players on the pitch, you have Ugarte that played two games,
00:34one of them, Kaza, was out, Bruno is always fit, he's the guy that is doing his position
00:42so maybe it has to do with that.
00:44I don't know guys, I don't know, it's the same question.
00:52I don't know what is going to happen, it depends, I see the training, it's the best
00:56thing for the team, I will put it.
01:00That is the only way I know how to respond to that.
01:03Obviously Wolves provided some low moments at Molyneux last season, that was one of the
01:11darker moments.
01:12How important is it not to take the fact that they've not won a game this season for granted,
01:16because you just played 18th?
01:18Everything can happen and that will change, there is no team in the Premier League history
01:24that didn't won one game, so it can be any game.
01:30So we need to try to improve, to rest the players, work really well and prepare a tough match,
01:36because with us it's always a tough match.
01:38Do you understand why we ask about Kobe, because he's homegrown?
01:43Yes, of course I understand and my job is to answer, but I'm trying to answer always the
01:51same thing and you ask me always the same thing.
01:53I understand what you are saying, you love Kobe, he starts for England but that doesn't mean
02:00that I need to put Kobe when I feel that I shouldn't put Kobe, so it's my decision.
02:08For all you say about the academy, that you don't actually trust the academy.
02:13Why?
02:14Because the men are picking players.
02:16Any players we have, Kobe might not.
02:20But Lacey in difficult situations, and Lacey sometimes when Brian is not there I put
02:27Amad because I have other wing backs to play and sometimes it's hard.
02:32So you are asking me why I don't put Lacey to play when I have other guys that are international
02:39and also they are in the bench, so I try to put the best guys, the prepared guys for this
02:44moment of the club and try to win a game.
02:48That's the only thing guys.
02:49Ruben, when the team has the opportunity this season to step on and push up the league, to
02:56move into the top four, top five areas, there seems to always be a setback like tonight.
03:01Do you think there's an issue with their belief, coping with the pressure of the moment?
03:06I don't know, I think it's a clear fact but I think it's not a mental thing.
03:15I think they are not thinking we are going to top five, no, no.
03:18I think it's some moments we play good, sometimes we play bad and we are not getting the results.
03:24Do you think Diogo and Mathias will be okay for the next game?
03:28Diogo Dalho and Mathias De Ligt, will they be okay for all?
03:31I think so, we'll see.
03:33You've used the word anxious when you did Patrick Doggy last week.
03:40Diogo Dalho used the same word after today.
03:43How do you go about solving the team maybe feeling anxious when they have a 1-0 read-in?
03:49I said that Diogo is anxious today.
03:51You know last week you said Patrick Doggy is on the ball so it's obviously similar to Diogo
03:56and what the team felt when they were 1-0 up today.
04:00How do you help the team get through that feeling?
04:02I didn't feel the team anxious, I feel the environment a little bit anxious because it's normal,
04:10because we proved in the past and people understand that nothing is certain here but we didn't
04:17draw because of that.
04:18We draw because in one second ball we have advantage, we let a corner and the corner anything can happen.
04:24Mr. Amrit, last season you made mention of the squad's physicality, you know, it was different in Europe compared to the Premier League.
04:32Today you've mentioned all about second balls, do you think the team has that necessary, the characteristics you talk about?
04:38No, we can win second balls, we were winning second balls and after the goal we lost a little bit the second ball,
04:45especially with Mateus, it's moments of the game and that's why I tried to put Manu and Maison Mount,
04:53they are aggressive trying to win the second ball and that can happen in moments of the game, not all the time.
04:58So is that a, to be clear, do you think that's a team problem?
05:01No, it's not, I don't know, maybe it's more tactical than physical, to be prepared for fighting for the second ball,
05:10maybe because we score a goal we are a little bit more relaxed.
05:14I had the feeling that we had the game under control because the opponent is not even near our box, I don't know, I have to check.
05:21Please forgive me for this question.
05:23Of course.
05:24You said, I don't know, multiple times, but also you do know the things that you want to do to improve them and then fix them.
05:33I said, don't know today, many times.
05:36Of course, it's press conference, you said, I don't know in response to it.
05:38This one, more.
05:39This one today.
05:40Yeah, but when?
05:41Yeah.
05:42And essentially, I'll see.
05:43But when, when, when, when, when I say, don't know, which question?
05:48That's me, Bob.
05:49Robert.
05:50You, you know now when you're going to have players available and…
05:59No, we are, we are dealing with, with, with everything.
06:03They are, they are, they are going to play the next game and that is the only thing I care.
06:08Last question to Pete.
06:09Hi, Ruben.
06:10In score against Everton here, a right-back scoring tonight, do you, do you feel that you have
06:21enough firepower to see your project through or is that something you might consider looking at in January?
06:27No, we have, we need to wait until January, we need to, to, to see what we are able to do.
06:36So I don't know, I really don't care about that in the, in this moment.
06:41I just want to prepare the game with the players that we have and we have to be better in the next game.
