Rasmus Hojlund’s last-minute effort snatched a draw.<\/a><\/p>\nWhen they found themselves trailing at the City Ground after conceding twice in a couple of minutes, as Forest overturned a contentious first-half opener, United were staring down the barrel.<\/p>\n
The question to Amorim after his side recovered to draw could not have been any clearer.<\/p>\n
‘If that game had happened last season, do you feel you would have lost it?’<\/p>\n
The answer was equally emphatic.<\/p>\n
“Yes, and by more goals, that is my feeling.”<\/p>\n
We can never know the reality. What we do know is Amad Diallo showed why Amorim picks him at wing-back by flashing home a sensational first-time volley from just outside the penalty area nine minutes from time to earn a point.<\/p>\n
It has been obvious since the start of the season United are playing better this term. Since the beginning of October, they have also been getting better results.<\/p>\n
The determination, the desire, the refusal to give in are unquantifiables.<\/p>\n
In this game, Amorim felt his players showed they have got better at that too.<\/p>\n
“In the past, if we had this kind of bad five minutes and we suffered two goals, we don’t recover,” said Amorim.<\/p>\n
“Today is a different feeling. You can sense we could not win this game but we are not going to lose. And that is a feeling a big team sometimes has to have.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you can’t win, don’t lose – so the old saying goes.
