Ruben Amorim has warned Manchester United fans that the rest of the season is going to be a "rollercoaster." United followed up positive performances against Liverpool and Arsenal with a lacklustre display against the Premier League 's bottom side Southampton on Thursday.

Amad embodies many of the traits Amorim wants from his team, and against Southampton he dug them out of another hole

Ruben Amorim's side scraped past Southampton after a late Amad Diallo hat-trick and the games will continue to come thick and fast.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim expects a rollercoaster season with the club juggling difficult Premier League and Europa League campaigns, but he was relieved to get back to winning ways ahead of hosting Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

Amorim would like United to build up with a genuine three at the back, rather than the four it has been when protection is the first priority. At Anfield, United took the lead because Martinez sensed a moment to press high, snapping into Mohamed Salah to win the ball and then stay up to receive Fernandes’ slipped pass.

Amad Diallo’s stunning 12-minute hat-trick rescued United from potential embarrassment against basement side Southampton.

Ruben Amorim says he is relieved about the win over Southampton but believes the rest of the season is going to be a rollercoaster for Manchester United.
