The action doesn't stop as straight after his first win as United manager, Ruben Amorim moved on to his next match which comes at Old Trafford as United welcome Everton in match 13 of the PL (kick off 13:30 GMT).
Amorim knows exactly what to expect from a manager that "understands the league" as Sean Dyche is a "quality coach" who will make things tough for United. "It's going to be a different match with a lot of fighting, long balls, second balls."
The MUFC boss said once more that rotation will occur as "we need to rotate the team." What he also wants is for his side to have more of the ball and wants further improvement to Thursday night's victory.
Amorim used all five substitutions and he says that that was "to manage the fitness, NOT the game." He says that they are all prepared for such a grueling schedule and that there will be "no excuses."
On his fellow countryman Diogo Dalot, Amorim says that he needs to be rotated as while he is "very powerful" and "always looks fresh, he's not like that, he's not a machine."
Amorim hints that maybe Dalot could be moved to the right as "I think he plays better on the right."
However, Amorim was praising of his defender because he added that a player like him who is versatile, "is perfect."
On how he manages to speed up the process in terms of getting his messages across to players in such short spaces of time between games, Amorim says that instead of giving the players 12 minute video analysis where "they lose concentration", "we have to imagine we're in an indoor stadium."
When talking about how to improve his team, his methods include some video analysis as well as coaches showing the players individual moments. He says that they would like to give every staff member a job and that they are more important, "maybe more important than me!"
He gave an update on Luke Shaw saying that the left-back trained straight after the side's victory over Bodo/Glimt but "won't be able to do some of the things" on Friday.
In spite of all this intensity on the fitness of the players, Ruben Amorim feels that those on the field "have to push more." He also says that Mason Mount is a "talented player" and that he's working really hard as he "wants this really bad." The MUFC manager has a lot of belief in Mount but that he has to stay fit.
In terms of tactics, the boss would like good 1-on-1s and for his team to close down the space when they lose the ball. "I think the structure is more fluid than you [media] thinks."

Final Thoughts
We do know that Dyche is that old school English manager who makes his teams play in this way. Tough, physical, long balls and look for set-pieces to cause problems. We aren't the most physical and isn't something that Amorim looks to do when it comes to his play style. Obviously he'll have to adapt some things which he said he may need to do at times. This gives us the opportunity to see whether this comes to pass or not.
Rotation is key. With the amount of games we play and the quick turnaround times, we cannot afford to keep playing the same guys over and over. I think so far, Amorim has done as good a job as he could when it comes to rotation.
He's used almost all the players available to him in these two matches and what we're starting to see is who suits his system more than others. That is another advatage of using the wider squad other than just giving rest to players.
Thanks to his selection and substitutions against Bodo/Glimt, I think we could have a good idea of who he will pick on Sunday.
On Dalot, the defender has come under a lot of criticism in recent weeks due to regular poor performances and his substitute appearance against on Thursday was another underwhelming display. Perhaps playing on the left is a reason as to why he has been very disappointing.
I'm a big fan of his but admittedly, in the last few months, he has been very sub par. I'm not sure what has gone wrong with him but he clearly isn't the player he was at the start of the season and the one who won player of the season last year. He really needs to improve because his place in the team is not guaranteed.
Hopefully being benched on Thursday will give him the rest he needed as well as the kick up the back side required.
I suppose it is really hard to coach the players when there is hardly any time on the training ground. They won't be in training today due to playing last night and video analysis footage that is too long will lose their attention. Amorim has to find a way to do a bit of both whilst keeping that concentration and also getting them to do some work on the training ground while not pushing them too hard.
I thought Mason Mount was really good last night. He made a massive difference to that high press and overall intensity. This was more evident when he came off as that intensity disappeared.
I don't think it is a quality problem with Mount. While it may have been (and to an extent, still is) difficult to see why we bought him, he is still a top player, as Amorim says. It's just about staying fit because clearly, he has a chance of playing as one of the two CAMs in the manager's formation.
His versatility also means we have a player who could do several roles.
