""I'm really annoyed with that," Amorim said. "But he's really confident. He's training [to take] the penalties, trying to understand that people are watching the way he [tries to] score penalties. So he will be ready.""
""The environment is going to be loud but we are ready to play in that," he said. "If you look at last year, sometimes we play better in that kind of environment than the pressure at home. We never know what is going to happen. We showed last year there, we can handle it. The way we start the game is more important than the environment. To do a really good warm-up. To have a feeling. To understand that it's going to be tough in the first moments. I know they are ready.""
""Football players nowadays don't watch many games, unfortunately," he said. "I have so many things to use [as inspiration] with our players. Like winning back-to-back games [in the league for the first time]. We have so much to win if we perform and win the next game. I don't need to use those games in the past.""
Bruno Fernandes will continue as Manchester United's primary penalty taker despite missing two of the three spot-kicks awarded this season. Fernandes missed penalties at Fulham and Brentford but scored from the spot against Burnley. Ruben Amorim noted Fernandes's lengthy penalty history and expressed annoyance at the recent misses while emphasising the player's confidence and ongoing practice. Manchester United travel to Liverpool on Sunday, with a rare Premier League win there in 2016. Amorim highlighted the loud Anfield atmosphere, the importance of a strong start and warm-up, and dismissed reliance on past results as primary motivation. He also acknowledged transfer-related noise around the squad.
