Ruben Amorim says Victor Lindelof and Noussair Mazraoui are available for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Wolves at Old Trafford.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, immediately after last night’s extraordinary 7-6 aggregate victory over Lyon, Amorim was first asked about Wolves’ resurgence under new manager and fellow Portuguese, Vitor Pereira.
“I think he’s doing an amazing job,” he said. “He’s playing 3-4-3. He’s doing quite well. He’s changing some players. He has really quality players, [Matheus] Cunha and all these guys, they have real quality, they are fresh, so we know that it’s going to be a tough match and we’ll need a lot from our supporters.
Amorim was then asked how much of a change to his quad he intends to make. He had said in the Lyon post-match presser that he would rest players.
“I have to see it. Players like Dalot, they are always ready but today he was really tired. The guys who are at risk of having an injury, we will save them. So we will see tomorrow.”
Asked if he believes the “kids” are ready, he said:
“I think it’s not the best moment or the best season to put some kids to play, because again they need a strong base to really show what they can do. But in this moment, we need to do it, and sometimes you have surprises.
“Ayden just played and I can be honest, because we had a lot of injuries in that moment. But today, I think Ayden is my player. So when he’s ready, he’s facing the competition to play, so you don’t know.
“Amass did really well today. So we don’t know.
