Ruben Amorim, Manchester United’s manager, discussed the importance of having his squad fit for their upcoming match against Nottingham Forest, as he wants to implement a rotation policy to manage player fitness. This is especially relevant as he navigates a tight schedule and recent suspensions.
Ruben Amorim said, “But we have to have all the squad fit. For example, Harry Maguire has a time limit, Tyrell Malacia has a time limit, Mason Mount has a time limit, Leny Yoro really has a time limit. We have to manage and winning games with different methodology, a different way of playing, more metres to press.”
Later, when asked about the injury status of England international Luke Shaw, Amorim expressed his uncertainty regarding Shaw’s recovery timeline, emphasizing the importance of supporting Shaw during his recuperation.
Ruben Amorim said, “I don’t know. When we have injuries, the coach does not say how many days they need to recover. No matter how long he will need, I will be with him to help him return. It’s not just Manchester United but also your national team needs a guy like Luke Shaw.”
