When asked about De Ligt’s injury before kick-off at Old Trafford, Amorim told Sky Sports: ‘It’s hard because, if you see that position, especially this year, it’s just Harry [Maguire] and Matta playing those positions.
‘It is a blow. He is playing really really well. But I’m really excited with Ayden. He is working there. I think he has the right characteristics to play there.
‘It is a big opportunity for everyone to see Ayden.
‘For Matta, it is a small thing. I expect to have Matthijs next game [against Wolves next Monday].’
On his decision to drop Leny Yoro following his performance in the win against Crystal Palace last weekend, Amorim added: ‘As a manager, we need to think about everything. I spoke to Leny, not about leaving him out but about the message. He is so disappointed but it is a tactical issue.
‘It is a clear option and a tactical option. Today we need to win, no matter what.’
