'Different energy' at Man.Utd after mini-revival, says Amorim ahead of Forest clash

United, who travel to face high-flying Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, are a lowly 13th in the EPL, 12 points off the top four with just nine games to go. But they are unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions

Ruben Amorim says the 'energy is different' at Manchester United after a mini-revival but admits their confidence is fragile as they prepare to return to action following the international break.

United, who travel to face high-flying Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, are a lowly 13th in the Premier League, 12 points off the top four with just nine games to go.

But they are unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions, though they exited the FA Cup on penalties at home to Fulham during that sequence.

Amorim, whose injury crisis is easing, was asked on Monday whether his team could pick up where they left off before the internationals.

"I'm really confident. I feel that the players are more confident, the energy is different," said the Portuguese manager, who took charge at Old Trafford in November.

"But I also know that this could change with the results. So we are focused on maintaining the energy. We worked on some things that we have a lot to improve.
