The Portuguese has had great success with Sporting Lisbon and will achieve that at Old Trafford as well.
– I’m a bit of a dreamer. I believe in myself, but also in this club. And I really believe in the players. I know you don’t and we have room for improvement, but I have faith in the players who are here, he said.
– I want to try new things. You don’t think it’s possible to succeed, but I do. We’ll see who’s right.
The room at United’s training facility was packed to capacity.
Changes the style
Amorim was asked how long he needs to repair Manchester United.
– I wouldn’t say repair, but we have room to grow as a team, including in understanding the game. I’m going to change the way I play in the middle of the season. We also need to improve physically and I don’t know how long that will take, he said.
– This is the strongest league in the world and we have to improve a lot to win it, but I know you have to win games at this club, so I’m not going to say I need a lot of time. We have to win games to buy time so we can win titles.
Amorim follows in compatriot José Mourinho’s footsteps to the Premier League and United.
– He showed us that a Portuguese coach can be the best in the world. He sent me a message and said it’s a big club, but a nice club with nice people. He is right about that, said Amorim.

Right person
– The club is bigger than I imagined. There is a lot to do, but I have good help and I already feel at home here.
Amorim emphasized that he is not a Mourinho copy.
– When he came to England, he had already won the Champions League. I don’t have that. I am a different trainer and person. Football is also different now. I am the right person for this moment. I’m young and I understand the players. I will use that to help them, he said.
