Big game, big decision, big insight into Amorim's nerve

FAIR play to the very likeable Ruben Amorim for trying to put some sort of positive spin on another Premier League defeat, Manchester United's 18th of the season.

- 

"This performance has helped me a lot to choose the starting XI for the [Europa League] final," he said, with a touch of grim humour, no doubt.

And his team selection for the defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge suggested there were one or two players on trial for Bilbao most notably Mason Mount, who must be under consideration for a starting role against Tottenham in Spain.

Other players 'on trial' must have included Rasmus Hojlund, but his trial is a long-running affair.

When you hear the likes of Roy Keane laying into the Danish striker, it is hard not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Hojlund.
