Morgan Gibbs-White has praised Manchester United’s improvements under Ruben Amorim this season as “incredible to see” with the 25-year-old midfielder preparing to face the Portuguese tactician’s side this weekend.

Results beginning to match performances

The Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League table, just one point off fourth-placed Sunderland – one of the major surprise packages this season.

But it was United’s 2-0 victory over the Black Cats which sparked Amorim’s side into life as it was followed up by back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Brighton.

It’s the best run of form, and performances, United have produced since their head coach’s arrival from Sporting CP last year.

There were signs of these improves earlier in the campaign, with a combination of poor finishing and defensive errors (as well as two missed penalties) conspiring to snatch defeats and draws the from the jaws of victory.

INEOS pointed to these underlying statistics as evidence for why their continued faith in Amorim was justified, despite acute pressure following the 3-0 loss to Manchester City and, in particular, the 3-1 defeat against Brentford.
