Jose Mourinho has backed Ruben Amorim to get Manchester United back on track after the Portuguese coach was sacked at Old Trafford.
The former Sporting boss was dismissed following a run of poor results, bringing an early end to his time in the Premier League. Mourinho, who knows the pressure that comes with the United job, was asked about Amorim’s situation and insisted he expects his compatriot to respond in the right way.
“I believe he will do it,” Mourinho said, sending a clear message of support to Amorim as the scrutiny around his dismissal continues.
Mourinho also made an admission about his own departure from United, reflecting on the moment his spell in Manchester came to an end. The “Special One” was in charge at Old Trafford before being removed from his post, and he pointed to the reality that the club can be unforgiving when results dip.
Amorim’s sacking has again underlined the demands placed on any manager in the United dugout, with expectations remaining high regardless of the challenges behind the scenes.
Mourinho’s comments come as Amorim weighs up his next move, with the coach still highly regarded after his work in Portugal. For now, Mourinho’s message was simple: he believes Amorim has the quality to bounce back from a difficult moment.
