Yet, Amorim is determined to change that sort of narrative.”When Manchester United talked to me, Omar [Berrada, club’s CEO] told me about their plans and you get excited. It’s a real honour, because I was the first choice to start that path. So it’s a great responsibility. But you feel honoured and excited to be part of that. I felt a connection with the club. And when I say with the club, everybody knows Manchester United. But I feel the connection with the people in the club, and that is very important for me, because I want to work with people that I like and I feel a connection with,” stated Amorim, speaking to MUTV.The wait is over 🚨👀Watch Ruben Amorim’s first interview as United head coach now 📲🇵🇹#MUFC— Manchester United (@ManUtd) November 15, 2024 As his first goal, the 39-year-old pointed out gradually creating the team’s identity.”From day one we will start with our identity. Of course we are going to prepare for the games, but we will focus a lot on our game model. How to play, how to press, these small details. You cannot go 100 per cent on every detail because it will be confusing for the players. So if I have to say one thing, my main goal, my first goal, is identity,” revealed he.McTominay has his word on Man Utd fans’ comments about himAs the club’s name indicates, Amorim pinpointed the unity he’d insist on, although aware that he, as a manager, would have to be the leader.”I’m a small part of the club. I know that the manager or head coach is so important in the club because you have in your hands the engine of the club. I understand that, but I want to be part of something. I don’t want to be just in charge. So I want everybody together. It will be more fun and so much easier to reach the goals,” the tactician said.Goosebumps.Watch Ruben’s first interview as head coach in full now ⬇️#MUFC— Manchester United (@ManUtd) November 16, 2024 However, aware that the Red Devils have been without a Premier League trophy for 12 years, the Portuguese must help his players regain the “winning feeling.””A long time ago, we don’t win the Premier League. But if you ask (me), Manchester United is the biggest club in England. So this is part of the history, it is not now. So we have to to address that, to show that and to try to win again. If you are a lot of years without winning, you start losing that. So you have to be very clear on the message that you want to put on the players. So I think we need to put all the players doing the same thing, to regain that feeling,” Amorim stated.Amorim looking at Stamford Bridge for future recruits?Still, regardless of the club’s current position and crisis, the new gaffer highlighted United’s greatness, calling it “the engine of the Premier League.””I think all the people are hungry for success and I feel that this is the place that I want to be also because of that, because you can be part of something special, not just one more. We know that we are the engine of the football. Manchester United is the engine of the Premier League, in my opinion,” he said.##NAJAVA_MECA_8501760##Finally, Amorim touched on United’s history and pointed out the strength and resilience earlier generations had shown.”When you come here, it’s so different. You see the trophies, you see the tragedy that we have as a club. The history, the way that someone that saved us at the moment. So you can understand the history, after the crash, then we were European champions. This kind of strength, I think it is important to put in our team. When the players come here, they should make the same tour with the same guy all the time. I think this is very important to do. It is one thing that you have to feel: that this is Manchester United and it’s normal,” Amorim concluded.
