On Sunday, Ruben Amorim will lead Manchester United for the first time as they take on Ipswich. Amorim, who was previously approached by Manchester City, impressed the team with his confidence and enthusiasm after taking over from Erik ten Hag, who was relieved of his duties after a rough start to the season.
Although Amorim remained in charge of Sporting until the international break, he has since taken over at United and has already won over the players with his energy. In fact, some players have even nicknamed him "Jose Mourinho 2.0" due to his unwavering self-belief.
Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool and England defender, has also been impressed by Amorim's relaxed and assured demeanor in his first interview with United's official website. He believes that Amorim's confidence and belief in his abilities will be a great asset for the team.
However, Carragher also has some concerns about whether United's squad is suited to Amorim's preferred 3-4-3 formation. He believes that the Premier League has some of the best managers in the world and that Amorim will need to prove himself against top operators like Marco Silva and Thomas Frank, even at the middle of the table.
Amorim's first match in charge will be against Ipswich, where he is expected to use a 3-4-3 formation. This has surprised Gary Neville, who believes that Ten Hag should have used this formation during United's struggles this season. However, Carragher argues that Ten Hag lacked the natural wing-backs needed for this formation, which could also be a problem for Amorim.
In his first interview with United's in-house TV channel, Amorim emphasized the importance of restoring a sense of identity at Old Trafford. He believes that this will take time, but that winning games is key to gaining that time. He also wants to focus on the team's game model and playing style, while also involving everyone at the club in his plans.
Amorim understands the importance of the manager's role at a club, but he also wants to be a part of something bigger. He sees Manchester United as the biggest club in England and feels honored to be a part of it. His main goal is to bring back the Premier League title and he is determined to do everything in his power to achieve that.
It remains to be seen if Amorim will succeed at Manchester United, but he has the confidence and belief to try. He has a big responsibility on his shoulders, but he is willing to do everything for the team and is honored to be a part of such a historic club. The question now is, will he succeed? Only time will tell.
