Don’t Compare Me With Mourinho –Amorim Warns Man United Fans

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has warned the fans that he shouldn’t be compared to Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese international, who is expected to face Ipswich in his first baptism of fire on Sunday, told the club’s website that he wants to be himself and build a team capable of challenging for titles.

“He sent me a message, it’s a big club, lovely club with lovely people, and he’s correct, it still is.

“We are building a new club. I am a different guy. I hope to teach something different here to my players. It’s the best club in England. We want to win, that’s all.

“With all the Portuguese coaches, we’ve shown that we can be the best in the world. I’m different from Mourinho. I remember that time. You looked at Mourinho and felt he can win everywhere. It’s not the same thing. He was European champion, I am not.

“Football is different nowadays, I think I am the right person for this moment. I am a young guy and I try to use this to help my players. Their young guys were (Frank) Lampard and these kind of players, nowadays it’s so much different. I think I’m right for now.”
