Amorim has £64million question to answer after United's win at Anfield

It was a brave decision from Ruben Amorim to bench Benjamin Sesko against Liverpool last weekend.

- By STEVEN RAILSTON

Sesko had scored twice in his last two matches for Manchester United, but Amorim decided to revert to the striker-less front three he picked for the first three games of the season.

Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount and Bryan Mbeumo looked threatening in those matches, but none of the three scored when all on the pitch together (Mbeumo only scored against Burnley once Mount was substituted).

Although there was the potential for United to be blunt at Anfield, Mbeumo scored within two minutes at the Kop, finishing brilliantly following a perfectly-weighted pass from Amad.

The decision to play with a striker-less front three worked a treat. Mbeumo, Cunha and Mount were excellent and Amorim now has a tough selection decision for Brighton's visit to Old Trafford this weekend.

Should Amorim persist with the striker-less attack that delivered at Anfield?

United had one of the worst attacks in the league last season and it must be refreshing for Amorim to have a selection dilemma.

It's a welcome headache for Amorim.
