Roy Keane claims Ruben Amorim\u2019s \u201clove\u201d of one Manchester United star is a \u201chead-scratcher\u201d.<\/p>\n
Amorim has relieved the pressure on his shoulders at Old Trafford after victory over rivals Liverpool saw him claim consecutive Premier League wins for the first time after they got the better of Sunderland before the international break.<\/p>\n
Sesko was dropped for the clash with Liverpool despite scoring against Sunderland and Brentford the week before, with Matheus Cunha reinstated to the starting lineup, joining Mason Mount and Bryan Mbeumo in a mobile front three.<\/p>\n
READ:\u00a0Mikel Arteta only third in Premier League manager rankings for 25\/26<\/a><\/p>\n It proved to be something of a masterstroke from Amorim<\/a>, but Keane is confused as to why Amorim is so keen to include Mount in his starting XI.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got Sesko at \u00a380m, but he loves Mason Mount doesn\u2019t he?\u201d Gary Neville said on The Overlap<\/a>. \u201cYou can tell he wants Mount in with Mbeumo and Cunha.\u201d<\/p>\n Keane added: \u201cThat\u2019s a head-scratcher, I think. He\u2019s doing well to get in the starting United team, Mount.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of managers have loved him over the years, he was the main man with England for a while, Chelsea of course and now obviously the manager wants to put him in.<\/p>\n \u201cBut you go back to stats as an attacking player. At United, his stats when he\u2019s played are really poor.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not as if you\u2019re going, yeah I can see he\u2019s getting a lot of assists, his stats are really poor.\u201d<\/p>\n Mount has scored one goal this season but has managed just two further Premier League goals since his arrival from Chelsea in 2023, and remarkably, is yet to provide an assist.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Amorim declared his \u201clove\u201d for Mount when he first arrived at Old Trafford and explained why Benjamin Sesko was left out of his starting lineup for the clash with Liverpool after the victory.<\/p>\n Amorim said: \u201cEspecially in the bad moments, you have to go with your guts and I always go by that, no matter what.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s the most important thing for the manager, right or wrong sometimes, but that is, for me, the key point of being a manager.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then sometimes you have a player in the good moment, but the characteristic of the game is not for him, so it\u2019s better to go with a player and understand that is not for him and then take him out to the game.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes the characteristics of the game change the way you are going to approach the game.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think for example, Cunha, in the middle, if we put Ben [Sesko], I think it\u2019s easier for this kind of centre-backs to control our striker.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we try to do that, but when you win is so smart, the coach, is amazing, and then when you lose, it is something wrong with the manager. I understand that.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m going always what I think is the best for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roy Keane claims Ruben Amorim\u2019s \u201clove\u201d of one Manchester United star is a \u201chead-scratcher\u201d.
