Rotation key as fixture pile-up won't leave Ru in a spin at Reds

The 39-year-old oversaw a 1-1 draw at promoted Ipswich in his first match at the helm and celebrated a maiden victory against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday.

Amorim was touched by the warm welcome he received at Old

Trafford, where he made six changes for the 3-2 triumph and made full use of his bench as he kept upcoming exertions in mind.

United start a nine-game December schedule at home to Everton today, when more alterations are in store as he seeks a first Premier League win.

Put to him that Sean Dyche's Toffees have had a week to prepare unlike his side, head coach Amorim said: "It is what it is, and we will rotate players and we will be ready.

"(Against Bodo) we have to use like four subs to manage the fitness, not the game. We manage the fitness. We have to do it.
