Manager rebuffs Dyche criticisms before Forest trip
Ruben Amorim has admitted his first year at Manchester United has been “really tough” but is clear he wants to be head coach for as long as possible.
Amorim was confirmed as Erik ten Hag’s successor on 1 November and officially took over 10 days later. The Portuguese has won 21 and lost 19 of his 52 games – a 40% victory rate.
“It was a journey, a big journey,” he said of his first 12 months. “It was tough, really tough, good moments and bad moments. I learned a lot that is really important. I found out that even in my lower moments I can stick with the things I believe and that is a good thing for anyone to understand. Today the answer is different from three weeks ago. One of the biggest honours of my life to be here and I want to continue here for many years.”
