Moyes suggests Amorim will need time to adapt to Manchester United’s job pressure

David Moyes, who previously managed Manchester United, expressed his view that Ruben Amorim could “take time to settle in” at Old Trafford, emphasizing the significant “privilege” and “pressure” inherent in the position. Moyes shared insights from his own tenure managing the Red Devils, which began after the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, during a special broadcast of BBC World Service’s Sportsworld podcast. “It is a huge privilege to be given the chance to manage Manchester United,” Moyes said. “There are only a few people who ever get the opportunity to manage at that level.” “I haven’t managed at Real Madrid but, for me, Manchester United is a club which has bigger support worldwide. Every newspaper in the world would have been covering this story, because there are so many Manchester United supporters worldwide.” “So it is an incredible job, but it is different as well. I have to say that it carries a lot of pressure and an awful lot of media coverage. They are always looking for things on Manchester United.” “It might take a little bit of time for him to settle in but, if he gets given the time by the board, his statistics and what he’s doing at the moment shows up very well in Portugal.” The complete podcast is accessible on BBC Sounds.
