Dimitar Berbatov has urged Ruben Amorim to turn to his senior players for advice amid Manchester United’s difficult season. In the same way that Sir Alex Ferguson did with Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs. The

40-year-old has found results on the pitch difficult to come by since arriving at Old Trafford in November.

United were held to a 1-1 Europa League draw by Real Sociedad on Thursday. After being knocked out of the FA Cup fifth round on penalties by Fulham at Old Trafford.

Amorim’s philosophy is strikingly different to that of Erik ten Hag, while the Portuguese admitted early in his tenure. That his side would have to struggle before they could turn their fortunes around. The

former Sporting Lisbon boss has remained committed to his style of play. Despite losing eight of their first 16 Premier League games and being knocked out of both domestic cup competitions,

Berbatov, who won two league titles during his four years in Manchester, says while he respects Amorim’s tenacity the manager has also had to adapt to the team during such tumultuous times.

Speaking exclusively to แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ Football. The 44-year-old said: “It’s about adapting and sometimes when you’re in a difficult situation like United are at the moment,

you see what you’re doing is not working and it might not work if you keep doing it. Because the players you’ve got are not suited to that system. “

If you keep doing the same thing all the time and you’re producing the same negative results, you’re just doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Berbatov also spoke about his experience of playing under Ferguson and recalled how the Scot used to ask his senior players for advice in discussions about upcoming games.

He insists it’s something Amorim can do with the experienced players in the dressing room.

“Maybe you need to talk to your players. Maybe you can get the senior players to come to you, like we did with United in the past,” the former striker said.

“Senior players can go to the boss and say: ‘Boss, we want to do the best for you, we will play for you, but let’s see what we can change so you can get the best out of us’.

“The conversation between players and managers is a two-way street, there’s no shame in asking senior players because they can help you. “

Like Sir Alex did with Giggs and Scholes, I used to ask them: ‘What do you think about tomorrow’s game?’ and vice versa. It helps you help each other because you are in this together. You can’t forget you are in this together.”
