'Ready for the next game' - Amorim hints at Manchester United line up change after star left 'disappointed'

Ruben Amorim has hinted Alejandro Garnacho could be recalled to the Manchester United starting line up when they host Ipswich in the Premier League in midweek. United are back in action on Wednesday night and will need to show improvement after a dire performance in their 2-2 draw at Goodison Park over the weekend.

Amorim made one change to the starting line up from the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, with Manuel Ugarte recalled after injury in place of Garnacho. The 20-year-old looked disappointed as he arrived at Goodison Park and it soon transpired he had been dropped from the side.

United were much better when Garnacho was introduced from the bench and the academy graduate had more of an impact on proceedings than the forwards who had started the game instead of him. He will be eager to return to the side against Ipswich and Amorim has already suggested he 'will be ready' for the clash.

Why Alejandro Garnacho was on the bench vs Everton

Speaking after the Everton draw, Amorim revealed why Garnacho started the match on bench as he looked to rejuvenate the team and play a side that could cause the opposition as much trouble as possible. "There are some games that are different and we want different things in the same positions," he said of the Argentine.

"Garnacho will be ready for the next game and it’s good thing to be disappointed. But, like I said, we have a lot of games, in modern football, you don’t have a starting XI, it’s really hard, especially now. We have a squad that we have to rotate and then I imagine the game and then I imagine the characteristics of the players to try to win the game and today the game, I think in a different way to have Garnacho on the bench to change something."

United have struggled at home more than they have on the road this season and Amorim is eager to record a rare home win and give supporters something to cheer about. Asked about the final trip to Goodison Park, he said: “I think it’s amazing, the fans of Everton are amazing, they are in a good moment, it’s well deserved that David Moyes is the coach to start in the next stadium, it’s really good. But for me, in this moment, every stadium is really difficult, especially ours with our fans supporting all the time! My goal is to just win the next game and to give some happiness to our fans because they deserve it a lot.”
