Manchester chief United Ruben Amorim explained his decision to play defender Harry Maguire as temporary forward in the last moments of defeat on Nottingham Forest.
United suffered 1-0 defeat in third place on the forest on Earth City, thanks to the first half of the efforts of Anthony Elanga against his former side, but the balance of Maguire approached virtually the last kick of the game.
The replacement climbed from the bench in the 88th minute and put his efforts towards the goal, just to see that she had cleaned the line of Murillo with seconds to go into the game.
“At the end of the game, when the opponent protects the box, they are comfortable,” Amorim said at his press conference after the match.
“We can achieve the last third, but we have to put the ball in the box because it is hard to make a combination. Harry Maguire when attacking sets is perhaps the best player in the team.
“You’re not a defender inside the box, you are an attacker. Give one man who is really good there to score a goal.”

United had a total of 23 shots in the evening, six of them were on the target, but he couldn’t call Matz Selsa’s forest goalkeeper in any form of meaningful behavior until he was defeated by Maguire’s efforts just to be saved by a timely shoe teammate Murillo.
When AMORIM asked about United fighting in front of the goal, he continued: “That’s clear. We created some chances, but we could create more with the ownership we had.
“We have achieved the last third many times, but we must be better. It is important to score goals and we have a lack of goals.”

“We put the forest where they wanted to be. They have fast players in the crossings, we pushed forward, but in the last third we weren’t good enough.”
The attackers of a person UTD flatter to cheat
Sky Sports’ Lewis Jones:
Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojdund remain a hot theme of the debate for Manchester United after the couple flattering to cheat again with their output in the defeat of 1-0 to Nottingham Forest.
Zirkzee played 78 minutes on urban land and failed to register, registered the touch into a forest punishment or created a single chance for his teammates. The game seemed to have been going through the usual United protagonists in terms of things to do in Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho.
Zirkzee is now without a destination in the Premier League since December 1.

Clinton Morrison says they disagree with Ruben Amorim’s decision to place rasm healing on a bench against Nottingham Forest
This is before 17 appearances.
Healing emerged from the bench during the break and managed to get at least one shot away in his portrait, but that was as good as he got into another tame performance.
It seems that Zirkzee and Hojlund have problems at the end of things. At the moment, it is not very bad with the accumulation of United, but there are so few striking instincts or even what the desire to go and change inside the pair box.
It was perfectly illustrated by Harry Maguire, who was in front of the front like an emergency center forward in 88 minutes. At that time – a total of eight minutes – Maguire had three shots, six touches in the opposition box and published the expected targets of 0.59. He was amazingly accumulated by the expected goals in the eight minutes before healing in his last 15 performances.
When Maguire proves more threats in your position in just eight minutes, it will become embarrassing for two omitting united centers ahead.
