But the important thing is that the team-mates help Senne to have a good game because everyone was focused, not a lot of mistakes, against a team that was really comfortable playing football.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Senne arrived here first of all Altay (Bayindir) was playing and then you can feel that he needs to adapt &#8211; new country, new training, the pressure you guys put on the goalkeeper is massive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a little preparation for the guy to be ready to start his first game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But now is just one game and he needs to work because he needs to be prepared that in our club things are really hard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>United head to rivals Liverpool after the international break, when Sunderland host Wolves looking to bounce back from only their second Premier League loss since promotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ruben Amorim wants actions rather than words after Mason Mount said Manchester United&#8217;s players were &#8220;100% behind the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-61852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
