Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is ready for the arrival of new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim is set to head to Manchester United, as soon as his visa situation is cleared up.

The new head coach is ready for his new challenge at Manchester United, after finally managing his final Sporting game, a 4-2 victory over Braga.

Manchester United warmed up for Amorim’s arrival with a 3-0 win over Leicester City, another victory with a clean sheet to fire up the team’s confidence.

Casemiro message to Ruben Amorim

Brazil international midfielder Casemiro has been speaking about Manchester United’s incoming new head coach, expressing his excitement.

He is encouraged by everything he hears about Ruben Amorim, with his midfield teammate Manuel Ugarte previously playing under him at Sporting.

Casemiro said: “The best thing is that everyone speaks highly of him. He marked an era at Sporting, at a time when FC Porto were the winners.

“Sporting are always among the three favourites, but they are usually a little behind Benfica and FC Porto, who are usually stronger. He marked an era, won titles and had a brilliant career at Sporting. Everyone speaks highly of him.”

Casemiro explained that Ruben Amorim will inherit a hungry group of players, eager to learn his new methods, who are desperate to improve.

He explained: “He will have an exceptional group here, who want to help, who want to continue growing, who want to learn, who want to be at the top of the table.

“We are waiting for him with great joy and happiness.”

Manchester United under performed

There are good players at Manchester United who were underachieving under former manager Erik ten Hag.

Amorim will put them through their paces, speaking at a press conference he responded to comments from Bruno Fernandes, warning him that he may not enjoy everything, after the captain expressed his excitement at his arrival.

And that’s fine, Manchester United’s players sound eager to learn, and unlearn the negatives imprinted on them under Erik ten Hag.

It was clear last season and this season that Erik ten Hag’s tactics were a big part of Manchester United’s problem.

Ruben Amorim has his own tactical ideas, and he is coming in with a plan, but also says he will adapt around United’s strengths and weaknesses as the season goes on.
