Amorim shared his views on the cup tie as he referenced Zirkzee.
Asked why his team are not converting chances, he replied: "I think it is sometimes the quality of the players... Bruno, Casemiro, Josh [Zirkzee] is improving a lot, he's fighting for every ball. It's the quality of the players which help us to create more chances."

He added: "The goal is to win the Premier League. I don't know how long it is going to take but that's our goal and no matter what we continue forward."
Man United return to action on Thursday when they face Real Sociedad in the Europa League before resuming their faltering Premier League campaign at home to Arsenal on Sunday.
