Ruben Amorim says Man Utd ‘not the unattainable job’ as he explains why he is ‘the proper man’

Ruben Amorim has told the doubters that making Manchester United great again is not an impossible job.

Amorim has replaced Erik ten Hag as United’s new manager. He will take charge of his first game when United take on Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Sunday.

His challenge is to turn United into serial winners of the biggest trophies again. And the Portuguese coach is backing himself to succeed where several others have failed before him.

Speaking in his first press conference since taking charge of United, Amorim said: “It’s a global club and there is so much to do. But I feel happy and comfortable. I feel at home.

“I believe in myself and I also believe in the club. We have the same ideas and mindset. I truly believe in the players as well.
