“There are two non-negotiable demands that must be met and if not met I’ll just have to decline the job offer. These requests are key to my success at Old Trafford” – Manchester United has been informed of two key expectations that Ruben Amorim holds for his squad as he takes charge. These non-negotiable demands are central to his approach, and he anticipates his players will meet these standards as part of his strategy for success at Old Trafford.

Ahead of Sporting CP’s stunning 4-1 victory over Manchester United’s city rivals, Ruben Amorim shared the two essential qualities he expects from any team he coaches.

These non-negotiable traits are fundamental to his vision for success, particularly as he prepares for the challenge at Old Trafford, a role that has proven difficult for many since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure.

Amorim stressed the importance of a team that can maintain possession and play with confidence. These qualities were on full display during his team’s memorable Champions League win over Manchester City, a performance that left Pep Guardiola and the football world in awe.

As Amorim prepares for the Premier League, he is focused on instilling the same principles of discipline and quick transitions that helped him succeed in Portugal. With players like Rasmus Højlund and Bruno Fernandes, who fit well into his tactical system, Manchester United fans are hopeful for a return to more successful times under his guidance.
