Then the celebratory speeches are over. Ruben Amorim has smilingly walked around and greeted and handed out a bunch of hugs. The first interview is done with Gary Neville on Sky Sports, a session that got Man United fans raving about what’s going on. United legend Neville also wanted to know specifically what Amorim will do in the early days to leave Man United, the Portuguese laid out a plan that says it will be exciting and new times from the start.
-First of all, I think we have to be better athletes. It’s something you can acknowledge when we’re here and we see the data. When I say fit’ers, it’s not being thinner or anything like that. It’s the data. You have to understand the data to press high, what are the average meters you have to run, the sprints, Amorim begins.

Point 1: Train to withstand doing the job with high pressure for 90+ minutes.
-You have all this data, and you have to deal with it. So you already know that your goal is to reach it. You can run a lot, but if you don’t understand the game, it doesn’t matter. But the first point to press high, you need to be in good shape, and you need to cope with the demands of pressing high. I think when we lose the ball, we can’t press high all the time with the ball. we can press better. So the focus this week was also in that part. If you don’t lose the ball, you can press better,” the United manager continues.

Point 2: Create an understanding of the high-pressure game
-You can say the beautiful things like hard work, be professional. You should be. This is Manchester United. In every club [you should be], but here of course you can’t run away from it. The goal is to think first about the team. So I know that sometimes some guys want to play in a different position, but they have to understand the position and they have to fight for the team,” doses an enthusiastic Amorim.
Point 3: Professionalism in everything you do
Point 4: The team first, not only in theory, but in everything the player does regardless of position
-As a former player, I know every trick. I can understand the players. I can understand what they do, why they do it. If they do it for the team, I will defend them all the way. I can lose my job before I ‘throw a player under the bus’, but if he doesn’t put the team in first place, I will be the first to talk to the player,” says Amorim.
Point 5: 100% loyalty – which applies both ways
We can feel optimism rising at Old Trafford.
