He is the man of the moment in England. It has been a long time since there has been as much expectation with a coach as with the arrival of Rúben Amorim to Manchester United. The Portuguese has not yet made his debut, but the information that comes out after his first days in charge of the team says that the players would have been “impressed” with him.
According to The Sun, the former Sporting CP player seemed very confident in his first sessions and transmitted a lot of confidence to the squad. “They have been struck by his energy and his approach. He has clear Mourinho vibes in his way of speaking and his self-confidence, but the style is his,” says a source from the English newspaper.
He told them that senior managers had not replicated Ferguson’s success because they had lived in his shadow.
English journalists on Amorim’s words to his players
In addition, Amorim explained the reason for United’s recent failures in his opinion: “He told them that senior managers had not replicated Ferguson’s success because they had lived in his shadow instead of getting their team to play with a spirit of their own.” Some words that have permeated the locker room, which have already found a nickname for their new coach: “They call him Mourinho 2.0. They believe that he is very accessible and that he will understand them.”
“The new Mourinho? Mourinho is unique”
Something that Rúben will surely have liked, who has always acknowledged his admiration for The Special One: “He was a coach who opened the door to all of us, special in his time, and still is, but when he appeared we knew that his teams “They were going to win, and that is relevant for us as Portuguese, because we started to believe in ourselves a little more.”
Revitalizing the Manchester squad
The ‘Red Devils’ had been in the doldrums for some time, until Ruud Van Nistelrooy changed the dynamic. The Dutchman had to leave the club, but the players maintain the desire to reverse the situation and return to the path of glory in a team that has not lifted the Premier League for a decade: “The players and the club are full of energy. “The other players will be keen to get back to Carrington to prove themselves.”

For this, Amorim is ideal and from the first moment he has wanted to convey complete confidence to the locker room: “He told those he has seen so far that the talent in the squad is incredible, but they need to start playing as a team.” Furthermore, The fact that he is a young coach helps when it comes to conveying his idea. “As he is only 39 years old, he understands their fashion, their music and their feelings about the modern game. He understands how they live, how they want to work and how to get the best out of it. of them,” they say in England.
The truth is that, although everything indicates that Amorim has started on the right foot at his new club, it will not be until Sunday, in the match against Ipswich Town, when it will really be seen if everything said about the Portuguese is true. or if his adaptation to the ‘Red Devils’ will be more complicated than is said.
