Ruben Amorim: “From day one, we will start working on our identity”

Ruben Amorim arrives at Manchester United. The now ex-coach of Sporting Portugal spoke for the first time as coach of the Reds Devils.

New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has revealed his first goal. The former Sporting Portugal coach wants to give the Red Devils a playing identity.

“We know we need time, but we need to buy time. Saving time means winning matches. But the most important thing for me is identity, announced the Portuguese on the official MU channel. From day one, we will start working on our identity. Of course we will prepare for the matches, but we will focus a lot on our game model. How to play, how to press, those little details. You can't explain 100% every detail because it won't be clear to the players. So if I have to say one thing, my main focus is identity.” Manchester United have been playing for many years now without a real playing philosophy.
