The win takes United to four points in the Premier League, easing the pressure on Amorim. However, the Portuguese coach remains cautious, saying he's not thinking about turning points. "It's day by day...we have a lot to do," he said.
United's loss to Grimsby in the League Cup last week was a major embarrassment for Amorim. The 20-time English champions had never lost to League Two opposition before. Amorim cast doubt on his future after the loss, saying "something has to change" and that he would "think things through".
The team's goalkeeping issues continue to be a concern. Amorim dropped goalkeeper Andre Onana after his role in both Grimsby goals, but his replacement Altay Bayindir struggled again. United have been linked with a move for Antwerp's Senne Lammens before the transfer deadline.
"It's hard to be a Manchester United goalkeeper in this moment," said Amorim. "But we can defend better in the box. The players are struggling with all the things around the club, so it's not just the goalkeepers who need to improve."
