Manchester United head to Nottingham Forest for their next Premier League assignment with momentum on their side on the back of three wins on the bounce.
United boss Ruben Amorim, who seems to have turned the side’s fortunes on its head after enduring a painful acclimatisation process, reflected on the journey thus far with the club seemingly hitting form.
“It was a journey, a big journey. It was really tough. Good moments, bad moments. I learned a lot, that is really important,” Amorim recollected.
“I learned that even in my lower moments, I can stick with the thing I believe, and that is a good thing for anyone to understand.”
“Today, the answer is different from three weeks ago, so it is important to understand that. It is one of the big honours
of my life to be here and I want to continue here for many years,” the Portuguese tactician said.
Nottingham new boss Sean Dyche had been critical of Amorim’s preferred formation stating the Portuguese manager might have had more success had he stuck to a traditional 4-4-2 shape, but the United boss re-asserted his penchant for his 3-4-2-1 setup.
“I always say that I have a way of playing that is going to take a while and then in the future it is going to be better,” the 40-year-old said.
“We don’t know that. I can look at Sean Dyche as a manager and a pundit. If you are a pundit and you don’t say very strong things, I don’t want to watch you. I am the same. I can completely understand that it is a different job.”
“I know Sean Dyche is smart and he knows how to play the game. He understands that there is one thing seeing the game and talking about it. It is another thing to coach a team,” the United boss signed off.
