Iraola on Amorim's Man United

Iraola's Bournemouth registered a historic 3-0 against Erik ten Hag's Man United 3-0 at Old Trafford last season, per BBC. The Spaniard says the Red Devils are better under Amorim.

"I think they are different," said Iraola via The Mirror. "I think they play in a different way, different system, different approach to the games. I think they keep the games more in their control. They’ve raised the possession they have on the ball and they have really good patterns."
"If we allow them to dictate the game and to be the team taking the decisions on the ball, it’s going to be very difficult because I think they are playing very well."

The Cherries are eighth in the Premier League with 25 points, three more than 13th-placed Man United.
