Rene Meulensteen believes Ruben Amorim could be the coach to make Manchester United a force in the Premier League again. The club has now agreed to a deal with the Portuguese champions after talks this week. In anticipation of the appointment, Sir Alex Ferguson’s former coach has given Amorim his backing.
Rene Meulensteen said, “He has a clear vision of how he wants his team to play, as we have seen with Sporting Lisbon, emphasizing a high-energy style and positional play. He is already brilliant at winning trophies, even though he is only 39. As he has shown at Sporting, he knows how to instil a winning mentality, which is vital for a club of United’s stature. Amorim’s ability to adapt tactically and his style of play and development are standout qualities. The way he plays, it is a free-scoring team; they score a lot and don’t concede a lot. He has succeeded in adapting to various situations in matches and changing things for the better, instilling confidence in his players, creating a cohesive unit, and challenging other top teams. You can see that he is a forward-thinking coach with innovative tactics, which together could make United a formidable opponent again in the league.”
