<p>Amorim, who earned widespread recognition for his success with Sporting CP, has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young managers. During his time in Portugal, he secured multiple trophies and impressed with his tactical acumen and leadership. Now, he takes charge at Old Trafford, where expectations are sky-high to restore the team to its former glory.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Amorim is known for his professionalism and work ethic, his effective and no-holds-barred communication skills earned him the nickname “poet” from Ronaldo, as was first revealed by Portuguese journalist Marcus Alves in an interview with <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cq6l2mq23nyo" target="_blank"><em>BBC Sport.</em></a> </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/videos/detail/watch-ruben-amorim-first-interview-as-man-utd-head-coach" target="_blank">club media</a><em>, </em>Amorim himself has now spoken about the moniker. When asked about it, he said with a smile: “Yeah. But it’s like a funny thing because I like to speak - not too much - but when I speak, I think I speak from the heart. I think people feel that. It was something just to have fun.”</p><p>Ronaldo’s endorsement of Amorim as a “poet” underscores the respect he commands from his compatriots. However, the poetic charm must now translate into tangible success on the pitch - a feat that will require both time and resilience.</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>As he settles into life at Old Trafford, Amorim's immediate focus is on getting to know his new squad at the club’s Carrington training base. The international break has provided an opportunity for the manager to assess his resources and begin implementing his vision.  United’s first test under Amorim will be against Ipswich Town on November 24 at Portman Road.</p>
