🎧'You have to give the manager credit'
A new episode of The Devils' Advocate is now available on BBC Drinkwater is joined by The Stretford Paddock's Jay Motty to reflect on wins over Real Sociedad and believes things are beginning to take shape under Ruben Amorim:He explains: "You have to give the manager credit because it was getting to the point where it was becoming increasingly difficult for him. It felt like it might be difficult for him to stick to his guns and stick with his formation that everyone is obsessed with."He's said that this is the way he is going to play and people have to get used to it even if there is some short-term pain. "We didn't expect the short-term pain to be as bad as it has been but, and it's still early days, it does feel like it is coming together."You have to give the manager credit, he's stuck to his guns, he's starting to get results and ultimately now United are in with a decent chance of winning a trophy and getting into the Champions League via the backdoor of the Europa League."If we can get a bit of a run together in the league as well just to get a bit of positivity towards the end of the season then hopefully next season we can go in with our tails up and a little bit more belief in what Amorim is trying to do."Most of the fans believe in what he's trying to do but some of the media have been on his case and I'm hoping this will calm everyone down a little bit."Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds
