Lyon, France – Ruben Amorim admitted Manchester United It is easier to play in the European League than Premier League Because the slower pace of games gives their players more time to think.

“And if you have one more second you think of the ball, it’s a different game. Until now I have felt a difference when we play Europa League and when we play any Premier League game, so the little time can give us the advantage of playing better.”
Blank Manchester City On Sunday, United left disappearing in the 13th table, the remaining seven games.
