“He are the two things Amorim has taught us which no manager has ever done…We’re beginning to love him”: Man United’s winger Marcus Rashford names TWO things the team has benefited from Ruben Amorim so far and it’s just unbelievable
Manchester United’s players already have a ‘nickname’ for head coach Ruben Amorim.
Amorim, 39, arrived at the club’s Carrington Training Centre on Monday and was greeted by several members of the Red Devils’ hierarchy – including sporting director Dan Ashworth, CEO Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox.
On the same day, he took charge of training for the first time, with the Portuguese having just ten senior players available due to the ongoing international break.
As a result, several academy players joined in the session.
Amad, who is thought to be impressing his new boss, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo were among the training squad.
The former Sporting Club boss faces a tough trip to Portman Road on Sunday, 24 November, where he will take charge of his first game as United boss against Ipswich Town.
Fans have been paying close attention to the footage of training ahead of the fixture as they try to piece together his potential starting line-up.
The Sun Sport reported that the players have been ‘blown away’ by Amorim’s ‘Mourinho-style’ confidence.
“Even before Monday’s first session, the players have been very impressed,” a source explained.
“Then, after the sessions, they are blown away by his energy, approach and confidence.
“There’s definite Mourinho vibes in the way he speaks and his self-belief – but the style is his own.
“The players think he’s very approachable and that he will understand them. Some of them are calling him Mourinho 2.0.”
