Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has emphasised the need for greater pace and all-round improvement, especially in the team’s midfield, as the club kicked off their pre-season with a goalless draw against Leeds United on Saturday here.

Following a disappointing 2024-25 English Premier League campaign  — the Red Devils finished 15th and missed out on Champions League qualification after a narrow 0-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final — Amorim acknowledged there is much work to be done.
