Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have struggled to find the net this season.
Hojlund arrived with expectations of scoring 15+ goals but has lacked physicality and sharpness.
Zirkzee, a summer signing from Bologna, has managed just three league goals so far.
Hojlund has fared even worse, scoring only twice in the Premier League.
Amorim even played Kobbie Mainoo as a false nine in the 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

That decision highlighted United’s lack of firepower up front.
Manchester United will now throw everything at signing Viktor Gyokeres this summer.
The Swedish striker thrived under Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon.
Gyokeres has become one of Europe’s most prolific forwards since leaving the Championship.
He has an incredible record of 77 goals in just 83 appearances.
United wanted him in January but held off due to his hefty price tag.
Sporting were demanding £83m to let him leave mid-season, according to The i Paper.
United now believe they can land him for closer to £60m this summer as per the Mirror.

The Portuguese side are already resigned to losing their star striker, with the player himself commenting on rumours.
Viktor Gyokeres was signed from Coventry City just 18 months ago.
He has already netted 22 league goals this term.
United have scored just 28 goals in 24 Premier League games this season.
That is a major reason why they are languishing in the bottom half of the table.
Interestingly, Harry Kane has a £54m release clause that activates next January.
If United change course, they could make a shock move for the England captain.
Whatever the Red Devils choose to do, fans will be hoping that the club don’t overpay and drag out the transfer for so long.
As with Jadon Sancho, where United took far too long to get negotiations wrapped up.
