Watch as Sporting CP’s fans jeer at new Manchester United Manager Rúben Amorim
RUBEN AMORIM held his first press conference since being confirmed as the new Manchester United manager on Friday night.Amorim will take charge of two more matches as head coach in Portugal - against Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday and then his final game against former club Braga next Sunday.“Obviously, since this whole situation came about I've felt different. I understand the anger of some fans and the disappointment. But that's life.
"I understand their anger, but we move on and time heals everything. It was the best period of my life.""At the beginning of the season, and the chairman is there to confirm it, I had a conversation with him and director of football Hugo Viana."The season started and we started to have a very good season. United came along, paid the clause, above the clause, and the chairman defended his interests.
He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers.And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.
United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won't be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.
"The club knew that if I rejected it, I wouldn't have it in six months. And I knew that in six months I would know that I wouldn't be at Sporting.
