‘The right guy at the right time’: Ruben Amorim on Manchester United appointment – video

Ruben Amorim said he is a ‘dreamer’ in his first press conference as Manchester United head coach after joining the club from Sporting.

The 39-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year deal to replace Erik ten Hag who was sacked in October.

He has been compared to José Mourinho because of his nationality and success and said: ‘He [José Mourinho] sent me a message and told me that this is a lovely club, a big club, with lovely people, and that is correct.’

He added: ‘I am different from Mourinho. I am a different person.’
