It's the quality of the players - Amorim blames team standard in FA Cup elimination

Fulham delivered yet another devastating loss to Man United at Old Trafford on Sunday, knocking them out of the FA Cup.

The Red Devils crashed out in a penalty shootout after playing 1-1 at full time, limiting their chances of European football next season.

The loss piled more pressure on Amorim, who has failed to get the team back on track following his appointment.

After the match, Amorim was questioned about his team's struggles to create quality chances this season, specifically mentioning the underwhelming performances of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

According to Daily Mail, he said, “I think it's sometimes the quality of the players. Bruno, also Casemiro, Josh is improving a lot the connection, he's fighting for every ball, he's running all the pitch so it's the quality of the players that help us to create more chances.”

Amorim's comments suggest that he sees improvement at Old Trafford, despite the team's current performance and his disappointment in the players.

The FA Cup elimination was a devastating blow to United's already disappointing season, and it means that Amorim has one less opportunity to find success in his first year as manager.
