BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Asked whether Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim should adapt his tactics, despite his repeated comments that he will not be changing his system, Phil answered:

Amorim has his system and he will not be changing it. I suspect he would regard it as an admission of defeat anyway, but he also genuinely believes it will be best for the long term even though there is short-term pain.

The frustration will be that the home defeat by Brighton, as well as an average display in beating Southampton with three late goals, came after excellent performances at Liverpool and Arsenal.

It is the sort of thing that has managers tearing their hair out - but don't hold your breath waiting for a change in his strategy.
