Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's head coach, denied his players’ request for a day off after their 1-0 victory against Fulham. Following a tough home defeat to Brighton, United's win moved them up to 12th in the Premier League. Amorim, celebrating his 40th birthday, opted to train with the squad members who didn’t play against Fulham. He explained that his birthday gift was spending time with his players, prioritizing preparation for their upcoming Europa League clash with FCSB.
Despite the request, Amorim chose to keep the focus on training, ensuring the team remains sharp for the next challenge. United has little time to rest, as they return to action on Thursday for the final match in the Europa League group stage.
