“Rúben Amorim is actually a special one and the players loves him. His type of training has never been seen. We just signed another Alex Ferguson because of what he does on the training”-Manchester United are shocked and surprised after watching what the new coach Ruben Amorim did in training as the players are very happy with him.

Rúben Amorim is determined to breathe new life into Manchester United, focusing on unity, culture, and identity as he prepares the team for their upcoming clash against Ipswich Town. The 39-year-old Portuguese coach, dubbed “The Poet” by Cristiano Ronaldo, faces the challenge of reviving a team that languishes in 14th place in the Premier League following Erik ten Hag’s recent departure.

In his first official interview with the club, Amorim outlined his priorities: “I want to say beautiful things, but I’ll be honest. What I can promise is that you’ll see an idea—whether you like it or not, there will be positioning, there will be a clear direction. That’s what we need to establish.”

With limited time to work with the squad before matches resume after the international break, Amorim is placing character and culture above tactical refinement. “Formations like 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 don’t define Manchester United,” he explained. “What defines this club is the character of the players and their connection to its legacy. That’s the foundation we need to rebuild—before tactics, before pressing, before anything else.”

Known for his emotional connection with players and charismatic leadership, Amorim has already made an impression on the squad. Captain Bruno Fernandes, who worked with him at Sporting Lisbon, praised his ability to inspire and unite teams. During his time at Sporting, Amorim ended a 20-year league title drought and guided the club to domestic dominance, a legacy punctuated by his emotional farewell to players and fans alike.

Amorim is drawn to Manchester United not just by its storied past, but by the hunger for success that he sees among fans and within the club. “I feel this is the place I want to be. The people here are passionate, and you can sense the potential to achieve something special,” he shared.

The path forward for United is steep, but Amorim’s credentials inspire hope. His debut match at Old Trafford will be a Europa League tie against Bodo/Glimt on November 28, followed by a Premier League clash with Everton on December 1. While these fixtures will test his ability to implement changes quickly, fans and players alike are eager to see the beginnings of a new era under Amorim’s guidance.
