Just like United's Champions League final win over Bayern Munich in 1999, the Red Devils staged a remarkable comeback to score three goals in extra time, winning the second leg 5-4 and reaching the semifinals 7-6 on aggregate.
Amorim said, 'I was watching the 1999 documentary again for inspiration. It was a great night.'
He added, 'I think the team were tired and you feel it during the game, and then 4-2 with one more player and, in the end, you think it's over. But here, it’s never over.'
On matchwinner Harry Maguire, he continued, 'We tried to put Harry Maguire up there because he's the only guy that can score a goal with his headers.'
Amorim also praised Luke Shaw for his commitment, saying, 'Luke Shaw was meant to play 30 minutes, top, but then we had a problem with news at half-time, Vic had a personal problem, he had to leave. Nous too. So, all this stuff happening during this game, but, in the end, it was a good day.'
On the atmosphere generated by the fans, Amorim admits he's never experienced anything like it in his career. 'The sound of the stadium was the best sound ever. You want to keep that. Sometimes people want to keep a lot of things, shirts and, I just want to keep that sound. It’s the best sound in the world. It’s a special moment. It was amazing.'
He added, 'When you score two goals in the end, like that, you hear the sound of the fans and it pays off any suffering or frustration you have during the season. And, we know again, we know that we are underperforming. We deserve all the critics, but we still have time to make something special of this season, so we have to think like that and to be positive.'
