Ruben Amorim – who was criticized by a former Boavista striker – had a difficult start at Manchester United. However, the former Benfica player seems to have found the path to victory this season. Sir Alex Ferguson, legendary coach of the Red Devils, approves of the manager’s work and the summer signings.

“The coach made some good signings. The goalkeeper has only played three or four games, but always looked very good. And Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, who came from Brentford and Wolverhampton, also added,” he said to Receday RTV.

Alex Ferguson did not hide his hope that the former Benfica man would put the club back in the football spotlight: “I hope Ruben Amorim succeeds, especially because at Manchester United you need to succeed. And things are improving.”

“I think consecutive wins are something teams like United should always expect. But, after going through a period where improvement required patience and waiting, they are now enjoying the moment,” admitted Sir Alex Ferguson.

At the moment, Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United is seventh in the Premier League, with 18 points, from five wins, three draws and as many defeats. Arsenal (26), City (22), and Chelsea (20) complete the podium of the English league table.
