Ruben Amorim’s Great Interview After Man City Beat Sporting 4-1

Since Ruben Amorim’s last game at Sporting Lisbon was a 4-1 win over Manchester City in the Champions League, it’s safe to say that he will already have won over his new fans by the time he gets to Old Trafford next week. Phil Foden took the lead in the fifth minute, which was a bad start to the game. However, a hat-trick from Viktor Gyokeres and another goal from Maximiliano Araujo made sure that the 39-year-old would have a dream goodbye.

Amorim is getting ready to lead Manchester United for the first time against Ipswich Town on November 11. Red Devils fans were raving about him all week, and it wasn’t just his defensive setup. The Portuguese manager also made a big mark on the media after the game with an honest and humble interview, which was a nice change from recent years for United fans.

Interview with Ruben Amorim: Humble but Honest

The new manager of Manchester United is very good at getting things done.

The way that Liga Portugal’s top team beat Man City on Tuesday night totally deserved the media frenzy that followed. City had been perfect in the Champions League for a record-setting amount of time under Pep Guardiola. They hadn’t lost in regular time since their semi-final match against Real Madrid in the 2021/22 season.

At the same time, the man who planned such a crushing blow for his soon-to-be Premier League rival was remarkably calm during Amorim’s demolition work. As he talked to the press, it was easy to see why United fans liked him so much. The 39-year-old said, “Yes, I think it was written in the stars.” When asked if it was the right night,…

“The first half was tough; we got lucky.” But in the second half, we scored twice in less than a minute, and the crowd, the lights, everything helped us have a great night. It was a good time. We all earned it here: the players, the fans, and the board. It’s a great day because we started out so low four years ago.

When asked if he was excited to keep competing with Guardiola once he moves to Old Trafford, Amorim admitted that the Spanish manager was better than him, but he had faith in the United team to help him do better. He also played down rumors that Gyokeres would follow him to Old Trafford, saying it would be premature to talk about the Swede’s future before the end of the season. So, it makes sense that the response to his talk made the Old Trafford fans feel even better.

“Very likeable guy for real.” Someone on X said, “The kind of manager players would fight for.” “Can’t help but be hugely impressed with how he comes across,” said a second. Ten Hag must have had a hard time with that side, but Amorim is really good and on the rise. “He knows United aren’t having a great time right now, but the potential is huge,” said a third. “If Manchester United don’t get better under this coach, then something is wrong.”
