'He would explode a lot' - Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim has used psychologist to try and control his fiery temper

Premier League

Manchester United

Ipswich

<p>Manchester United signed Amorim as their choice to succeed Erik ten Hag after the Red Devils suffered one of their worst starts to a Premier League season. While the former Sporting coach has had a few good results, the 20-time Premier League champions have not been very convincing and Amorim's anger and disappointment have been evident. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim has been very, maybe too, vocal about Manchester United's struggles as he claimed that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/so-much-to-do-ruben-amorim-verdict-man-utd-amad-heroics-southampton/blt42828a03593ad10f" target="_blank">his side were 'the worst' in the club's history</a>. The Red Devils lost 3-1 to Brighton earlier this week and Amorim reportedly gave a very harsh earful to the players and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/revealed-furious-ruben-amorim-damaged-tv-man-utd-dressing-room-brighton-defeat/blt42b0bd438ca86b4c" target="_blank">even broke a TV during his rant</a>. The Telegraph has now revealed that the Portuguese coach's anger issues are not new and he has also undergone therapy for anger management. However, his childhood friend and former teammate Bruno Simao has revealed that despite 'exploding' a lot, he never seemed to lose his 'nerve'. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to The Telegraph, Simao said: “Honestly, I’ve never felt that he struggled to control his nerves.</p><p>“At the beginning of his career, he was very emotional – he would explode a lot, but not in a bad way, not with the players, but in the heat of the moment and all that. But I’ve always thought he had a strong mental and psychological foundation. And that’s why I’ve always said that his communication skills are incredible. He knows every moment of the game, he knows how to get into the player’s head and win the group’s trust.” </p><p>“He’s so strict that on the day I missed a training session, I was done – I wouldn’t play under him again. The only reason why I wasn’t let go was because the other players changed his mind. Then I had a chat with him and explained everything, but in his strictness, regardless of the degree of friendship, regardless of where I had played or whatever, for him, there are no names, no data, no status. Everyone is equal."</p>

WHAT SIMAO SAID

<p>Despite his outburst in the press conference as he labelled his team the 'worst Manchester United', Simao has claimed that the comments were more to put pressure on himself rather than to 'throw the players under the bus'.  </p><p>Simao added: “There is clearly a plan behind every sentence he says. He doesn’t throw his own under the bus in public. The statement from last weekend served to put even more pressure on himself and the team, all because he knows that everyone can give more. It also served as a message to the board, as he urgently needs signings. And no less important, it also resonated with what the fans think.”</p>
