Manchester United have failed over the past decade for one reason, according to their new manager Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese arrived from Sporting CP to try to wake up the sleeping giant. According to The Sun, he believes the Mancunians struggled because they played in the shadow of Sir Alex Ferguson. A source close to the club said: “He told them that the best managers have failed to replicate Sir Alex’s success because they have lived in his shadow, rather than making their team play with his spirit.”
Amorim certain to do better than his predecessors
“Even before the first session on Monday, the players were very impressed, continued the witness. Then, over the course of the sessions, they are blown away by his energy, his approach and his confidence.”
On the Old Trafford side, Amorim could start a real revolution, like the one imposed by his compatriot José Mourinho on the Chelsea side from 2004. “There are Mourinho vibes in the way he speaks and his confidence, but his style is his own. The players think he is very approachable and will understand them. Some of them call him Mourinho 2.0.”
