Ruben Amorim’s reaction to Man United chant
The Portuguese coach was bluntly honest in expressing his displeasure at the song, actually.
However, his reason for disliking it was actually pretty admirable.
“I don’t like my chant, I don’t like it,” Amorim admitted.
“I feel a little bit, not embarrassed, but because I’m the coach, they have to chant for the players and for the club. So it’s not a good thing for me.
“I understand and really appreciate the connection with the supporters but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch and I’m outside the pitch.
“But I am really honoured by that, I feel a connection with the supporters but we know we need results to maintain that.”
