Amorim heaps praise on Hojlund after he ends scoring drought against Foxes

Ruben Amorim paid tribute to Rasmus Hojlund after the Spits of Manchester United ended his marathon goal in the victory in Leicester on Sunday evening.

It was the highlight of a third impressive performance in a week by United, with Amorim's only regret that the momentum of his team will now be interrupted by the international break.

Amorim said: 'It's really important for Rasmus. He does the right things, the team helps, fights for every ball. He scored a very good cause and I think he earned it more than anyone.

“It was a difficult goal with difficult control with his right foot. It is a pity that we stop for the national teams because we have faith.

'It was clear today that my players are ter limits. We will use this window to rest and restore. It will be good. When we return, it will be like you are starting all over again. '

United suffered an injury when young Ayden Heaven was taken away early in the second half, although it was understood that the teenager did not go to the hospital.

'We will see next week, Amorim added. 'It is hard to understand, because when he was on the ground, he could not explain what he felt.

“He already played well against Arsenal and Real Sociedad. Today was the most difficult game for him for him because we expect him to relax a bit, but he was so focused. '

The other goals of United came from Alejandro Garnaacho, who first scored in 25 games, and Bruno Fernandes who received his fifth in a week and added two assists.

“Garnacho was really happy, but the most important thing is the way he improves his game,” said the United Boss. “He plays both sides and sprint back. If you do the good things that way, it will show. '

On Fernandes, Amorim added: 'What surprised me the most is the way he works every day. In Portugal we see Bruno with that frustration, but I was surprised because he is a very good professional. '

Another defeat left Leicester even deeper in the relegation, but manager Ruud van Nistelrooy refuses to throw the towel in the towel.

“The players give everything they have,” he said. “The gap is nine points. It's big, but we can't give up. We continue and use all the options that we have to turn around. Now we will have a long break and come back from there. '
