Ruben Amorim said his Manchester United players have been stretched to “their limit” despite continuing an upwards trajectory with a comfortable 3-0 win at Leicester on Sunday.

Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho ended their barren runs in front of goal before the in-form Bruno Fernandes rounded off a fine win for the visitors at the King Power.

United only move up to 13th in the Premier League but are finally showing signs of improvement after a difficult first few months in the job for Amorim.

The Red Devils are unbeaten in seven games, excluding penalty shootouts, and are into the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

United are not in action for another two-and-a-half weeks as an international break is followed by the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Amorim has welcomed that time to rest and recover with an injury-ravaged squad despite fears it could halt his side’s momentum.

“It’s a shame we stop for the national teams when our confidence is at its biggest,” said the Portuguese.
