"We were unlucky, even with the injury of Bruno, but during the game, even without him, we were the better team. We blocked the transitions quite well, and they did really well. We did a very good job that no one is going to remember tomorrow because what matters is the result."
"We already knew that Aston Villa play with everybody inside, and we needed to overload that situation. We have been training like that. We did different options, we can use different starting elevens depending on the game, so we are improving. Again, I think we deserved so much more, but the better team did not win."
Ruben Amorim said United were the better team despite a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, citing bad luck and an injury to Bruno Fernandes. United conceded two Morgan Rogers strikes either side of Matheus Cunha's equaliser and failed to respond after the second goal. United edged the expected goals (xG) 1.3 to 1.0 and had 15 attempts, six on target, while Villa had 12 shots. Cunha missed a glorious header in the second half. United have kept only one Premier League clean sheet this term and have struggled away to top-four sides since 2021-22.
