Ruben Amorim Reflects on Manchester United’s Derby Victory

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim spoke to BBC Match of the Day following his team’s derby victory. He stated, “It was incredible. I think we deserved it. It was a very tough match but we believe until the end. We managed to score, we needed that win, it was important for us and for our fans.” Amorim continued, “We were in the game for 90 minutes and that is very good. We talk about the Arsenal game, we played well in the first half but they were not believing that we could win. Today was so much more different.” He further added, “I also believe. Then we have Fergie time and we put the things together and something magic happened. It was a good day for us.” Regarding the fans, Amorim said, “They [the fans] need it. Just like us, but you can see the way they celebrate is special. But we need to continue. Our club needs to win these kinds of matches, I understand the happiness of our fans but we need to continue.” The manager also commented that with a victory for City, the performance was the same. He added that they need to improve many aspects, but the players deserved the win today, having been involved until the last minute, which he deemed important for the team. On Amad Diallo, Amorim remarked, “He can play different positions, he is very humble. We have to be very careful with Amad because sometimes in our club we put young players in a special place. Let’s stay clam with Amad.” Sandi Toksvig’s program features Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
