NEW MANCHESTER UNITED manager Ruben Amorim admits he is under no illusions as to how difficult the job will be but is ready for the challenge.
It means the Portuguese cannot officially start at Old Trafford until he is issued with a visa, which has been the process since the United Kingdom left the European Union. “Whatever comes, will come. I really want to win. I’ll be in a better mood if I win, more upset if I lose. I certainly won’t lose my essence, I’d sooner lose my coaching career.In his post-match press conference, Amorim added: “I feel ready for the new challenge. I’m not naive, I know it’s going to be very different, very difficult.“I know it will be difficult to reproduce what I have here anywhere else, but there are other places with different exposure and pressure.
Considering United’s difficulties, particularly up front where they have scored just 12 goals in 11 league matches, Amorim was asked whether he would be looking to sign Sporting’s former Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has 23 goals already this season and has only failed to score in two of his 16 appearances.“The leagues are different, I’m not there yet. I don’t know what the team needs more. I don’t know what’s going to happen.
United sources expect the visa process to be concluded promptly and have been irked by the suggestion there has been a setback given standard procedures are being followed.
