From Amorim&#8217;s pre-Liverpool press conference to today, it was like a light switch had been flicked on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">This United team now is playing some of the best football they have managed for a long time.

However, there is always concern that any improvements are being over-exaggerated after years of mediocrity, or worse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">But the reason you can tell that <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"UnitedLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">United<\/a> are changing for the better is that other clubs are starting to notice the difference. &#8220;It is the best [United] side we have faced in a while,&#8221; <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/danny-welbeck\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Danny WelbeckLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Danny Welbeck<\/a> explained on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">&#8220;They were really organised and structure, they always have incredible players and today they really punished our mistakes.&#8221; This sentiment was in turn echoed by Morgan Gibbs-White in midweek ahead of his <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/nottingham-forest-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Nottingham ForestLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Nottingham Forest<\/a> side taking on United.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">&#8220;Yeah it has been incredible to see,&#8221; the 25-year-old said to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stan.com.au\/sport\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Stan SportLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Stan Sport<\/a> &#8211; when asked about United&#8217;s turnaround. &#8220;Obviously they have been going through a tough time, the past couple of years but they have stuck with the gaffer and the past four or five games you\u2019re really starting to see how <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Manchester UnitedLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> should be playing &#8211; that grit and that determination to play for the badge.
