Why I Joined Manchester United – Amorim

New Manchester United boss, Ruben Amorim, has revealed his reason for joining the club.
Amorim, who left his Portuguese top flight side, Sporting CP, to move to Old Trafford, claimed he felt a connection with the Red Devils, which pushed him to join the club.

The 39-year-old former Portugal international added that Manchester United’s history also drove him, and he wanted to ensure they were back to their best.

He told United’s official website that it was important for him to connect with the people at the club.

“First of all, I think I felt a connection with the club. And when I say with the club, everybody knows Man United,” the Portuguese said.

“But I feel the connection with the people in the club and that is very important for me because I want to work with people that I like and I feel a connection.

The second point is the history of this club. All the people are hungry for success and I feel that this is the place that I want to be also because of that, because you can be part of something special, not just one more. And that is something that I really like.

“But when you see the games here, when you see the games, the interaction with the managers, with the players, even in difficult moments, I think it is a special club,” he added.
