After losing 0-1 to Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday, Manchester United manager Amorim defended Hellen who missed the opportunity in this game, saying that the striker should not be the only one to be blamed.
As Manchester United's top striker, Rasmus Højlund has played 28 games in the Premier League this season, starting 19 of them, but has only scored three goals. In the match against Wolves, he was a step too late in the 64th minute of the second half and was unable to score from in front of the goal.
Wolves then relied on Sarabia's penalty kick to win the game 1-0, giving Red Devils coach Amorim his 11th Premier League defeat since he took over. The Red Devils have a record of 1 draw and 3 losses in the past 4 Premier League games. After the game, when asked about the comments that put the blame on Helen, the Magic coach said: "I think if you look at the game, you will find that several of our players missed big opportunities, not just Helen..."
In fact, in addition to Helen, substitutes Bruno Ferlandis and Mancini also "lost" in the frontcourt. Amorim continued: "Of course, Helen's responsibility is to score goals because he is a striker, but this is also a matter for the whole team. I have said that the team should score more goals instead of just blaming Helen for missing opportunities."
He hinted that he would continue to use Helen in future games: "The only way I know is to continue to help him, such as showing him some goal videos. As you said, he needs to score goals. If I don't send him into the game, he will continue to fail to score. I will make further adjustments to ensure that he can score goals, just like any striker needs."
