He replied, "Of course, when you have more players with different characteristics, especially with Cunha or Ben, you have more options to score goals, especially against low blocks where there's no space."

However, Amorim emphasized that the absences were not an excuse for the team's performance.

He stated, "But that is just an excuse, we have players on the pitch, and we could lose the game but with a different intensity, the understanding of the moment when the other team fights each other and gets the red card. And I think we didn’t understand the moments of the game during the 90 minutes."

Amorim took responsibility for the team's performance, saying, "That is my fault, that I need to be better to explain the players how to play in every situation of the game."

He also acknowledged that Everton started the game with more intensity, which made it difficult for Manchester United to compete.
