Ruben Amorim, the new head coach for Manchester United, stated that he does not “feel the weight” associated with his position. The 39-year-old commenced his duties on Monday and has utilized the international break to familiarize himself with the club, its staff, and certain players at the training ground. He assumes leadership following the conclusion of interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy’s brief tenure, during which the Dutchman secured several crucial victories across his four matches. Given his notable managerial record from his time in Portugal, the former Sporting boss is anticipated to deliver success to Old Trafford. In an interview with club media, Amorim remarked on the club’s magnitude: “You watch on TV and you know that it’s big and it’s impressive – but when you are here, you can feel it and I think you feel the history.” He further conveyed his sentiments, stating, “I’m really, really proud to be a Manchester United coach, so it’s amazing. It’s a real honour to be here.” Responding to the interviewer’s comment that there is a “weight to the place but it does lift you up,” the Portuguese coach commented, “That’s really funny because I feel very relaxed.” He elaborated, “Maybe because it’s not gameday. When we have a game I’m a different guy, but I really don’t feel the weight.” Amorim concluded by expressing his current state: “I’m really excited and I’m quite relaxed. I think I am where I am supposed to be. That’s the feeling.” Post navigation Tony Mowbray Considers Managerial Comeback Following Bowel Cancer Battle Kevin Sinfield Completes 230-Mile Charity Run, Describes Feeling “Battered”
