Ruben Amorim sends a “rollercoaster” warning about Man United's problems by naming the “hardest” thing the players are trying to change after the win against Southampton.

Rubén Amorim has warned that Manchester United's 'roller coaster' is going to continue for the remainder of the season.

United fought back to avoid a fourth successive defeat at Old Trafford against bottom club Southampton on Thursday night with a late hat-trick from Amad Diallo.

The scare came after positive results from Arsenal and Liverpool, and Amorim admits United's up-and-down season is likely to continue into May.

“I think it's going to be difficult until the end of the season. It's going to be a bit of a roller coaster,” said the United manager.

“It's very difficult, but we have to continue and try to win it. Sometimes playing well, sometimes playing badly. We will try to win games.

“This season is going to be like that and we have to improve in all areas of our game.”

United produced another dull performance on Thursday night despite coming from behind to beat Southampton.

Amorim maintains that the lack of time on the training field with his players makes the process of implementing his style of play difficult.

United host Brighton on Sunday three days after facing Southampton, and then face Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday looking to avoid playing two more games in the play-off round next month.

“It depends on how much time you have to train,” Amorim added. “We are still in the FA Cup and we have UEFA games for the Europa League.

“Then it is also important to focus on next Thursday to win and try to be in the top eight.”

“That way you can take two games off the schedule and have a full week, so we try to do everything at the same time.” “We did seven training sessions together in 14 or 15 games.”

United avoided defeat against Southampton thanks to a hat trick from Amad Diallo.

Amorim also believes that United are having trouble going from a team that attacks on the counter-attack to one that can dominate opponents.

“This is something that can be seen in the past,” Amorim said. 'In the past we were a transition team and we still are. You can feel it. We have a hard time creating chances in the final third.

'The most difficult time to train is against low blocks, trying to create situations. So I think it is a team that feels more joy waiting for the play and then in transition creating problems.

'It's something we have to change. To change we need training. So to have time to change we also need to win games and we try to do that.”
