After the Manchester United play against Chelsea, it is clear that there are two key things that the board must provide for Ruben Amorim if they want him to bring in the results that we want from him. I believe he’ll do better than ETH” – Nani has advised Manchester United to provide Ruben Amorim with two key resources to succeed, especially in light of Erik ten Hag’s challenges.
Ruben Amorim is set to begin his journey beyond Portugal, and Nani believes the Portuguese coach is ready for the challenge – but insists he must be granted time to succeed at Manchester United.
Manchester United legend Nani has urged his former club to provide Ruben Amorim with two key things following his appointment as Erik ten Hag’s successor.
Amorim will officially take over during the November international break, stepping into his first role outside Portugal, where he led Sporting to five trophies, including a Liga Portugal title in his debut season.
Nani, who briefly played alongside Amorim for Portugal, believes the new manager has the right qualities to succeed at Old Trafford.
However, he emphasized that the club must grant him both “patience” and “top-quality players” to enable his success. “He’s done a fantastic job at Sporting,” Nani remarked after Estrela da Amadora’s recent 5-1 loss to Sporting. “With patience and the right players, he’ll do well at United, which is one of the best clubs in the world.”
During Ten Hag’s tenure, United invested approximately £600 million on 21 new signings and secured both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
However, the club finished a record low eighth in the 2023/2024 Premier League. Amorim, meanwhile, has dismissed signing any current Sporting players, mentioning that “[Viktor] Gyokeres costs €100 million (£84m), so I won’t be bringing any Sporting player in January.”
