'DREAMER' AMORIM TO BRING BACK GLORY DAYS

New manager believes he is the 'right guy in the right moment' to restore United to the top
-
LONDON - New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believes that he is the right man to revive the ailing English Premier League giants' fortunes, as he prepares for his debut at Ipswich Town on Nov 24.
The 39-year-old was hired from Sporting Lisbon to replace Erik ten Hag, who was sacked on Oct 28 after a dismal start to the season left United languishing in 14th place in the table.
Amorim is regarded as one of the brightest young coaches in Europe after leading Sporting to a pair of Portuguese titles during his four years in Lisbon. He left the team this season with a perfect record of 11 league wins.
United, meanwhile, have won just four of their 11 league games this term, extending a malaise that has set in since they last won the Premier League in Alex Ferguson's final season in charge in 2013.
Asked if he believes he can eventually restore the Red Devils to the summit of English football, Amorim said on Nov 22: "I'm a little bit of a dreamer, I believe in myself. I believe in the club, we have the same mindset.
