Ruben Amorim has officially taken the helm as the new head coach of Manchester United, tasking himself with revitalizing the team after succeeding Erik ten Hag during the international break. He conducted his first training session on Monday at Carrington.
Currently, the club finds itself in a disappointing 13th place in the Premier League, prompting fans to hope that the 39-year-old Portuguese manager can initiate a turnaround.
During the training session, Amorim’s influence was evident, with notable players like Casemiro expressing their thoughts on social media.
Casemiro’s encouraging remarks
Casemiro, the Brazilian midfielder, shared his impressions with a brief message: “Top training.”
He posted this sentiment along with a photo from the training, reflecting a hopeful attitude about Amorim’s coaching methods. His positive comments have sparked enthusiasm among the fans, suggesting a promising start for the new coach.

Marcus Rashford echoed this optimism by posting “top session today” on Instagram. Such endorsements from key players could help foster a positive response to Amorim’s guidance.
Known for his energetic coaching style and emphasis on nurturing young players, Amorim also introduced 16-year-old defender Godwill Kukonki into the training session.
This focus on youth instills hope in supporters that the coach is dedicated to creating a sustainable future for the team.
Facing the challenges ahead
However, Amorim is not oblivious to the hurdles he faces. With a mere four wins from their opening 11 matches, the team is far from the top-four position that fans desire.
Time is of the essence for Amorim as he prepares to implement his vision before his debut match against Ipswich Town this Sunday.
A victory could elevate United into the upper half of the table, alleviating some pressure on the squad. While initial reactions to training are promising, actual match outcomes will ultimately determine Amorim’s success.
As the team gears up for the encounter at Portman Road, fans are eagerly anticipating whether this new chapter under Ruben Amorim will bring the much-needed stability and success to Manchester United.
