What you need to know:
- When a reporter asked Amorim about Rooney's comments, the manager insisted that winning the league remains the club's goal, even if it does not happen in the near future.
- "That is the goal. To be naive is to think we are going to do it this season or be the best contender next season. I know in this moment, everybody knows everything. I was a pundit... I know it's really easy." Amorim said at the post-match press conference.
Manager Ruben Amorim said winning the Premier League remains the goal for a struggling Manchester United, despite former United forward Wayne Rooney saying the coach was "naive" to say that.
United, who last won the league in 2013 under Alex Ferguson, are 14th on the table and crashed out of the FA Cup on Sunday after losing to Fulham in penalties.
