As Manchester United enter a new managerial era, club legend Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out to convey his best wishes to Ruben Amorim. The former Sporting Lisbon coach officially took charge at the Red Devils this week, paving the way for what many hope will be a renaissance for the famous club.
Amorim, 39, gave his first interview since joining United and was quick to express his enthusiasm for the challenge that awaits him, taking over from Erik ten Hag – a manager with whom Ronaldo has had a well-documented disagreement. Although Ronaldo continues to shine on the pitch with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, he shares a deep connection with Amorim, dating back to their days together at Sporting Lisbon and the Portuguese national team.

Additionally, Amorim spoke about Manchester United’s rich history and the supporters’ palpable thirst for a return to success.
