Man Utd 'look like a different team' following win over Bournemouth

Manchester United are coming off a big victory against Bournemouth.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim

Manchester United have won two out of two games in the Premier League Summer Series. 

The club won 2-1 against West Ham before delivering a convincing 4-1 win over Bournemouth. 

United played without Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, which could be an indication that the same United players from last season have started to improve under Ruben Amorim. 

The manager gave his verdict on United's team, and he's optimistic going into his first full season. 

What did Amorim say about his squad?

When asked about the Bournemouth game, Amorim said, "It was a good game. We played with intensity. We were aggressive and that is something that we need to improve from last season."

"We had better possession compared to the last game, so they are listening. Of course, scoring first in the beginning of the games can change the confidence of the team.

"We changed some positions and you feel that they know what to do in different positions."

United struggled to score in games last season, falling behind in 19 games under Ruben Amorim in the Premier League.

Amorim also talked about the defensive side of things, saying, "It was a good test. We controlled quite well the runs of Evanilson and Semenyo one against one. Luke Shaw was also really strong. So it was a good day."

On the team as a whole, Amorim said, "It was just a pre-season game but the feeling with the same players, even being a pre-season game, if you look at the same players now playing, it looks like a different team and that is a good sign.

"More than the results is the way they are playing. They are playing better also because they are connecting better with each other, not just on the pitch, but off the pitch."
