After round 9 of the Premier League, Man United ranked only 14th on the rankings. That was enough to sack coach Ten Hag and the Red Devils quickly appointed coach Ruben Amorim to the hot seat. The Portuguese coach had impressed at Sporting Lisbon, when he won 2 Portuguese National Championships with this team.
Legend Rio Ferdinand is optimistic about the new Man United coach and revealed that Amorim has great appeal, according to Man United Focus: “I spoke to Nani a few days ago and he told me: 'Rio, the players play for him, everyone has a lot of respect for Amorim'.
He also said that Ruben Amorim is a very straightforward person. What I hear from his teammates, students and opponents is very positive. With Amorim's personality and charisma, it will make a difference to Ten Hag."
Before Ruben Amorim became the coach of Sporting, they had gone nearly 20 years without a national championship. However, the new coach of Man United helped Sporting relieve their thirst for titles. Rio Ferdinand was also impressed with this: "I think he has changed the situation of a football club. I don't care what tournament, but it is always extremely difficult to do. I think many Man United players believe that the new coach will change the fate of this team."
