“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
On the same day he officially took charge of training, the Portuguese manager had limited options, with only ten senior players available due to the ongoing international break. This shortage of first-team players led to several academy players being invited to join the session to bolster the numbers.
Among those taking part in the training were Amad, who is reportedly already making a strong impression on the new manager, along with Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo. Their presence highlighted the blend of youth and experience in the session.
The former Sporting Club manager is preparing for a challenging debut match as United’s head coach. On Sunday, November 24, he will lead the team for the first time in a tough fixture against Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Supporters have been closely analyzing footage from the training sessions leading up to the game, eager to decipher the manager’s potential starting lineup and tactical approach.
According to a report by The Sun Sport, the players have been deeply impressed by Amorim’s confidence, which has been likened to the assertive style of José Mourinho. A source shared insights into the squad’s initial reactions:
“Even before the first training session on Monday, the players were already impressed by his presence,” the source revealed. “After the sessions, they’ve been blown away by his energy, innovative approach, and unwavering self-belief.”
The source also noted that Amorim exudes a vibe similar to Mourinho but has a distinct style of his own. “His way of speaking and his confidence remind them of Mourinho, but his approach is unique. The players find him very approachable and believe he truly understands them. Some are even calling him ‘Mourinho 2.0.'”
