4-0 win against Everton. Three games without defeat for Ruben Amorim after his hasty arrival at Manchester United. Ruud van Nistelrooy put the club on the right course, Amorim continues. English journalists thought they would welcome Amorim with some good old-fashioned “trick-questions”.
When Ed Sheeran made the headlines after the Ispwich game, when the music star crashed a Sky Sports interview with Roy Keane, English journalists interpreted Amorim’s facial expression as the Portuguese having become angry.

So when an English journalist fired off the question of whether Manchester United can manage the top-four position and Champions League ticket, Amorim was prepared.

“But I want to be honest with the fans. Let’s focus on the achievements. Not the results. So we’ll see in the end. I will be judged on the final position. I know, but let’s focus on the next game and look at the performance,” the United manager said.
