Man United legend’s four-word reaction to Ruben Amorim training session will excite Red fans

When Manchester United supporters watch videos of a training session with Ruben Amorim, they will undoubtedly be eager to see Rio Ferdinand’s response.

This weekend, the highly renowned young Portuguese strategist, who recently took over as manager of Manchester United, will lead the team in their first match.

All eyes will be on Amorim this weekend as he plays his first game with the Red Devils against Ipswich Town. He has a strong reputation from his stint as Sporting Lisbon’s manager.

Given that United has had a bad start to the season and is no longer the force they once were, this presents a significant task for Amorim. However, it appears Ferdinand is pleased with the 39-year-old’s performance thus far.

See below for Ferdinand’s post on X, which very much suggests he’s convinced Amorim could be the real deal.

While it’s hard to read too much into short clips from training, Amorim certainly seems to be making his voice heard during these sessions, and the players also seem pretty sharp.

Change won’t happen overnight, but this looks pretty promising from the new manager as he looks to make an instant impact and show what all the hype is about.

United have had a string of very different managers since the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, with David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag all having their own issues and reasons for failure.

Amorim will hope he can bring something different to the job and get this club back to where it wants to be, but it’s clear it won’t be easy when you look at the list of names that have tried and failed.
