Twelve months on, their visit brought more words of caution from Amorim about his side’s evolution that proved equally perceptive.
From a United perspective, the jaw-dropping clash between Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane can be forgotten beyond the knowledge it left them facing 10 men for 77
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has not ruled out Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee leaving in January to further their World Cup ambitions – but says the interests of his club will come first.
Neither player has started a Premier League game this season. Zirkzee has featured for just 82 minutes in the top flight, while Mainoo has played for 93 minutes since coming on at half-time against Burnley
Manchester United will attempt to delay the departures of Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui to the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Portuguese, 40, has been criticised for his stubbornness in sticking with his favoured 3-4-2-1 formation.
Speaking on BBC Match of the Day, ex-Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards said those tactics could lead to “his undoing” and Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer said Amorim
