Morgan Rogers scored two excellent goals for Villa, but the United boss was forced to re-shuffle his midfield after Fernandes was forced off at halftime.

“I think we were the better team today. We were unlucky, even with the ‌injury of ‌Bruno, but during the game even ‌without ⁠him ​we ‌were the better team,” Amorim said.

“We did a very good job that no one is going to remember tomorrow, because what matters is the result.”
