• ‘Sometimes good, sometimes bad,’ Amorim predicts
• Rasmus Højlund’s struggles defended as ‘team problem’

Ruben Amorim believes Manchester United’s season will continue to be a rollercoaster and defended Rasmus Højlund’s failure to score for eight games.

United trailed 1-0 until the 82nd minute against Southampton on Thursday at Old Trafford, before Amad Diallo’s 12-minute hat-trick secured a first league win in a month and avoided a fourth consecutive home defeat in the competition. United moved up 12th but the head coach admits their campaign will continue to contain ups and downs.
