'Every corner nowadays is an opportunity' - Amorim

Manchester United's vulnerability from defensive set-pieces has been evident in each of their past three games; Bournemouth scored with a header from a free-kick at Old Trafford on Sunday, while Tottenham and Wolves have both scored directly from corners.

Following Thursday's 2-0 loss at Molineux, boss Ruben Amorim was asked whether referees needed to protect players more or if his side simply needed to be stronger in those situations.

"After a defeat, I don't want to talk about that, but you can see that every corner nowadays is an opportunity," he said. "Sometimes you forget the small guys and the talented guys. You put 11 guys to corners or free-kicks if you can do everything inside the box.

"But those are the rules and we must not cry about it but do the same thing.

"So we have to focus on doing the same thing to the opponent. That is my goal at the moment."

Asked if his side needed "bigger players", Amorim replied: "No, what I'm saying is that if set-pieces are becoming so important, you can do everything, so we have to learn it and do the same thing, even with the small guys.

"We just have to copy and do the same thing and not try to change the rules - just use the rules to also score goals at set-pieces."
