Man Utd have been criticised for their lack of identity over recent seasons. Even in his initial interview, Amorim made sure to address the changes he would make to implement a style at the club.
He said: “If I have to explain the importance of everything, it is the character, the way we fight, the way we play, and we must have an identity.”
If that Ruben Amorim interview doesn’t galvanise you, I don’t know what will.
The repetition of ‘identity’ stood out. A ‘guarantee’ that an idea will be clear from the first match.
Easier said, but he doesn’t strike me as a man feeling the weight of the biggest job in football. pic.twitter.com/0LFwhaSAnr

That Amorim interview is phenomenal, can’t help but fill you with excitement for what the future holds.
He makes it clear he’s set on establishing an identity, you can already tell he deals with his players really well.
Seems like a great character.

Not getting carried away by that Ruben Amorim interview but it’s obvious from the way he speaks Manchester United are going to win the league this season.

One thing is clear with Amorim – he will expect players to work hard and push on to succeed.
He revealed in his interview: “We have to start since day one without fear, without thinking that they are not used to playing like this. This is not on my mind.”
If any player doesn’t immediately fall in love with Amorim, sell them.
The bloke could sell ice to an Inuit.

You listen to Amorim talk and your confidence grows. I can only imagine the effect on some of our players!
Excited for the new era

Amorim just gets it man. When he said “It’s not the system or formation, it’s the character of the players in the way they see the club”, I know that he is here to get us back at the top!

He’s yet to lead his first game as United’s head coach, but already Amorim has sold his new dream to fans across the world. He will be in charge for the club’s clash with Ipswich Town on 24 November and will hope to implement his new style and get his squad on side.
