Ruben Amorim claimed that Manchester United's sobering draw with Everton in Atlanta will help to manage expectations while the team goes home from their summer tour by the US.
Impressive victories over West Ham and Bournemouth in the Premier League Summer Series had created a buzz around the United Camp after the club had spent more than £ 130 million to Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
Although Amorim's side ran away with the trophy and remained unbeaten in the preseason, he was not disappointed that his team and their fans were brought back to Earth.
“I think it's normal in our club. If you play well, they will say we play very well, “he said. 'We already knew that this will not change in two weeks, but we are better.
“I think it's the perfect feeling to go back to Carrington. I think the momentum of the tour was perfect. So we had the weeks to work with a good environment, a good feeling, and then we go back to Carrington and we are close to the season. We are going to feel that we have to do many things. '
Amorim was happy to hear that his captain Bruno Fernandes had called the team 'Lui' in his Port-Match interview. “I think I'm happy that the players have that feeling,” added the United Baas.
“It says they understand the situation, so it's a good feeling. Tomorrow we will travel, then a day off and we will return to Carrington to work. Insight into that everything in this club is ups and downs. We understand that, but I prefer that feeling than the other side. '
After a relocation of £ 71 million from Brentford, Mbeumo made his debut and played the first half next to Cunha before resting during the break. The Cameroon International impressed moments and sent Amad Diallo through when United won a fine for the first goal.
“I think he played well,” Amorim added. “He must understand the position, the movements. But I think the first touch, the way he connects to one touch, has opened a lot of space.
'You can see that he is not physically in the perfect condition, but he makes a lot of runs and that can stretch one team. So everything I expected, he delivered. '
