I think I just learned a lot about my everyday routine. You know, watching the veteran guys we have, the way that they go about their business, and the guys who have stuck around and made such an impact on this game. I think that was the biggest part, to take care of myself on a day-to-day basis with the schedule and the travel.
When you cost that much money, everyone only looks at goals and assists. But honestly, he could already have six or seven assists if the finishing had matched his vision. He's been incredibly unlucky. In the Chelsea game, within a minute of coming on, he played this brilliant flick through to Mo Salah. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred that's a goal - well, maybe 98, because the last time Mo had one like that from Florian, against Atletico Madrid, he hit the post.
Football management is a numbers game and it's a simple equation: Win more games than you lose, score more goals than you concede, and get more decisions right than you get wrong. But Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is failing in each of those principles right now, perhaps because he still hasn't recognized that his preferred 3-4-3 formation is only causing trouble for his struggling team.
Ureña, 33, is a well-known commodity at this point in his career. He throws hard but doesn't get a ton of strikeouts. He will keep the ball both in the strike zone and on the ground at a decent clip. The results won't be astounding but he can take the ball and eat some innings. He hasn't had a stint on the injured list longer than a couple of weeks since 2021.
