THE BIGGER PICTURE
Saha went on to offer advice to Amorim on three things he must do after taking over: “Ruben Amorim needs to bring consistency to Man Utd, give his players confidence in themselves as well as freedom to perform. To win titles they need to win games but show they can do so on a consistent basis, he needs to find the right balance between discipline and freedom to allow his players to be at their best.
“He needs to recreate what he has done with Viktor Gyokeres, a player who was playing in the Championship after failing to break through in the Premier League and giving him the confidence that he has today. The Portuguese league isn’t the same as the Premier League but it’s a similar challenge to get players believing in themselves and playing to the best of their abilities.
“The current players at Man Utd sometimes let their ego get in the way of their performances and they need to reconnect with the fans, look at Liverpool’s players and how they have performed straight away under Arne Slot. Look at the desire of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz, that is the commitment we want to see from Marcus Rashford and his team-mates.”
WHAT NEXT FOR AMORIM?
The former Sporting boss will officially kick off his tenure as Manchester United boss when they face off against Ipswich Town at Portman Road after the international break on November 24.
