Ben Amos was relieved to see Bebe snatch a 92nd minute
equaliser against Ajax Cape Town as he says United would
have been "massively disappointed" to lose the
second match of the DHL tour.
The keeper, who is flying back to the UK to
join Hull City on loan, had no chance with Alcardo van
Graan's clever flick from a corner but felt it was
important that the Reds responded moments later.
"The first half was obviously much
quieter," he told MUTV.
"We had a lot of the ball but it was all in the middle
of the park and we didn't create much in the first half
which we were disappointed about. When the lads grew more
tired in the second half, they had more opportunities.
"I had a lot to do with my feet and a couple of saves
but obviously it's little things in pre-season that
happen. Judging distances and things like that. People
talk about match fitness and match fitness for a
keeper is about getting your distances and
decision-making right, things like that. There were a
couple of things like that but I was happy on
the whole.
"We'd have been massively disappointed to lose.
We're disappointed with a draw anyway with the amount
of possession we had. To lose would have been very
disappointing. Obviously, we want to get into the winning
spirit and mentality so it's good we didn't lose
the game."
Amos is looking forward to his move to Hull. "I
can't wait," he enthused. "It's a new
challenge and one I'm going to throw myself into and
get as many games as I can. Then I'll come back here
and look to push on."
