Ruben Amorim, the new head coach of Manchester United, has claimed that he is the right person for the job but needs time to implement his ideas as the team sits 13th in the Premier League table. Amorim, who recently signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, will replace Erik ten Hag, who was sacked in October. The 39-year-old acknowledged there was a significant challenge ahead, but he was confident he could improve Old Trafford’s fortunes. “I’m a little bit of a dreamer and I believe in myself and I believe in the club.

The Portuguese coach, who spent four years at Sporting, was chosen for his credibility, his success in Portugal, and his conviction. He is not likely to be deterred by the challenge ahead as he plans to revolutionize the physical aspect of his team. “We need a lot of time because it’s a tough league, we have to improve a lot to try to win the title,” he said.

However, Amorim claims that he is different from Mourinho and has pointed out the differences in the game from more than a decade ago, which makes it a different challenge. “I think I’m right for now,” he said. He was confident about his players but acknowledged that he had to change things, a sentiment that was welcomed by supporters.
Ruben Amorim put up a highly accomplished and assured first media conference as a highly charismatic individual who has looked forward to articulating what he acutely feels. His confidence was immediately palpable, and he did not seem to be intimidated by the attention he was receiving. Amorim maintained he was the right person for the role and would willingly embrace it regardless of the pressure that came with it. His communication skills remain unmatched, and his first appearance at the new role provided a lot of hope for United supporters
