He told TNT Sports: “Me and H [Harry Maguire] have been here for a while already, so we know that we have to stick to what we’ve been trying to do in training [and] what we’re supposed to do.“It could be that you could feel in moments that it’s not working, but for some reason, the manager wants us to do that – and if he wants us to do that… [the coaches] watch so many games, they prepare themselves [for our matches].“We have so many staff – not only the ones who came with him but the ones who were already here.“We have great people behind the team to work on that, so if they do that in the right way, we just have to come on the pitch and show it.“As I said, we need to have more confidence [and] be more brave to show our character and our qualities.”GettyMan Utd have endured a nightmare season on and off the pitch[/caption]There was more controversy during the victory over Ipswich as Alejandro Garnacho marched straight down the tunnel after being subbed off.The Argentine winger, 20, was hooked by Amorim after Patrick Dorgu was sent off late in the first half.The boss opted to instantly replace Garnacho with Noussair Mazraoui to solidify the defensive side of the team.The decision was booed by the home crowd at Old Trafford and called “garbage” on social media.Garnacho also appeared to be unhappy with being the sacrificial lamb as he stormed down the tunnel.Man Utd ratings vs Ipswich as Maguire saves the day after Onana makes case to be WORST ever signingMANCHESTER UNITED eased their fears of the drop in a topsy-turvy relegation six-pointer with Ipswich.The Red Devils triumphed 3-2 despite playing the second half with ten men.A major cock-up from Patrick Dorgu and Andre Onana saw Ipswich take a third-minute lead through Jaden Philogene.Then, after United had recovered to lead 2-1, Dorgu saw a straight red card for a poor challenge on Omari Hutchinson.Philogene scored again to level it before the break only for Harry Maguire to nod in to be United’s saviour.But who was United’s best player on the night?Here, SunSport’s Phil Thomas reveals his Manchester United player ratings…However, some fans reckon the forward was simply off to change his soaking wet shirt.Speaking after the match, Amorim was quizzed about the player’s attitude and brought up loaned-out forward Marcus Rashford in his response.He said: “You are making a connection with Rashford, right?
