It’s impossible not to notice Ruben Amorim’s wide smile, which can be seen ever since he arrived in Manchester. Unlike his compatriot and colleague Jose Mourinho, who called himself The Special One, Amorim probably deserves the nickname The Smiling One.Still, it will be very challenging for the young Portuguese manager to keep that smile alive faced with many ongoing issues at Old Trafford.You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one…Today, he’ll face the first of many more to come, as the Red Devils lock horns with Ipswich Town away in the Premier League.”I can be ruthless when I have to be,” said Ruben Amorim on Friday afternoon. “There are some places to have fun and some places to work hard. I’m not like that kind of guy who wants to show he’s the boss. I think they will feel it in the small details, that I can be the smiling one but then when we have a job to do, I will be a different person and they understand that.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8519610####EDITORS_CHOICE##Amorim is well aware of all the obstacles standing in his way upon arrival…”It’s so much harder to come to a team in the middle of a season because you have to know the players during the games,” he said.”You’re talking about no national team periods to work with the players, it’s just games. It depends if you are winning. It’s a lot of fun having a lot of games and trying to make some tactical changes and winning games. But if you’re losing, you don’t have the time in training to work on everything you want to work.”I think where you can improve a team is in training. This is the most important aspect. You can get the players to recover and react really fast, but if you don’t do any exercise with that, it’s really hard to do that on video or in recovery training. So it’s really hard in this way, but we will find ways to try to cope with that.”ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 12SaturdayLeicester City – Cheslea 1-2 (0-1)/Ayew 90+4 pen – Jackson 15, Fernandez 75/Arsenal – Nott.Forest 3-0 (1-0)/Saka 15, Partey 52, Nwaneri 86/Aston Villa – Crystal Palace 2-2 (1-2)/Watkins 36, Barkley 77 – Sarr 4, Devenny 45+1/Bournemouth – Brighton 1-2 (0-1)/Brooks 90+3 – Joao Pedro 4, Mitoma 49/Everton – Brentford 0-0Fulham – Wolverhampton 1-4 (1-1)/Iwobi 20 – Cunha 31, 87, Gomes 53, Guedes 90+5/Man.City – Tottenham 0-4 (0-2)/Maddison 13, 20, Porro 53, Johnson 90+3/Sunday17:00: (9.50) Southampton (5.90) Liverpool (1.28)19:30: (5.40) Ipswich (3.80) Man.Utd.
