New Manchester United boss, Ruben Amorim, has revealed his reason for joining the club.

Amorim, who left Sporting CP in the Portuguese top flight to join Manchester United, stated he felt a connection with the Red Devils that compelled him to join.

The 39-year-old former Portugal international stated that Manchester United’s history motivated him, and he wanted to see them return to their peak.

He told United’s official website that it was important for him to connect with the club’s members.

“First of all, I think I felt a connection with the club. And when I say with the club, everybody knows Man United,” the Portuguese said.

“But I feel the connection with the people in the club and that is very important for me because I want to work with people that I like and I feel a connection.

“The second point is the history of this club. All the people are hungry for success and I feel that this is the place that I want to be also because of that, because you can be part of something special, not just one more. And that is something that I really like.

“But when you see the games here, when you see the games, the interaction with the managers, with the players, even in difficult moments, I think it is a special club,” he added.
