In his first official interview on Friday, November 15, the former Sporting CP manager emphasized the need for “time” to build a successful team.
He also highlighted the importance of maintaining the club’s “identity,” referencing legendary former managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby.
“So, from day one, we will start with our identity,” Amorim said.
“The most important thing for me at this moment is to create the principles, the identity and the character that we had in the past.”
“If you work as a team, then the talent individually is going to shine,” he added.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Ruben Amorim’s first starting lineup as Manchester United prepare to face Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Sunday, November 24.
Currently 13th in the Premier League standings, United have struggled to find consistency this season, a poor run of form that ultimately led to Erik ten Hag’s dismissal as manager.
Supporters have been closely analyzing training footage in hopes of predicting the new manager’s initial selection.
According to Dean Jones of Give Me Sport, sources within the club reveal that 22-year-old winger Amad has caught Amorim’s eye.
The Ivorian has reportedly impressed the Portuguese manager with his technical skills and off-the-ball work rate, making him a potential key player in Amorim’s favored 3-4-3 system.
Amad has featured in nine league matches this season, contributing one goal and two assists while showcasing flashes of his potential. His performances may see him playing a significant role in Amorim’s plans moving forward.
