Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim criticised the avoidable goals his side conceded in their 3-0 defeat at Manchester City.Amorim’s side were well beaten at the Etihad with defensive mistakes punished in ruthless fashion. Phil Foden headed City in front after 18 minutes, as Pep Guardiola’s side took the lead in an even first half.However, City’s superior quality shone after the break, with Erling Haaland taking centre stage. The Norwegian dinked an effort over Altay Bayindir to double the advantage after a slick move, before sliding in a precise third in off the post.

Amorim invested heavily in his frontline this summer but there has been little evidence on progress so far. Concerningly, his system continues to be exposed with Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire unable to keep pace with the City frontline.“If you look at the goals, we can avoid those goals. That was the biggest difference. We can do better, especially the second goal. We suffered goals we can avoid,” Amorim reflected to BBC Match of the Day.“The biggest difference was when we had transitions, we didn’t score. In the second half they did better in transition and we suffered in that moment.“We can do better, that is clear but again transitions – the third goal, lack of quality in the connection, people don’t know who is going to the ball and then the guy is free to score. The first one he is in the middle of four guys and we can be aggressive in that moment.
