Ruben Amorim is in constant contact with Sir Alex Ferguson | OneFootball

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is in constant contact with legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Portuguese boss has had an incredibly tough start to life at Old Trafford.

There have been moments where his ideas have shone through in the team’s dangerous pressing which has led to numerous goals, most often shown by Amad.

Impressive results at Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal in the FA Cup have also occurred.

Nonetheless, shocking league form sees the club sit in 13th place and after the latest poor result at home to Brighton and Hove Albion, Amorim labelled his team “maybe the worst” in the club’s history.

90 Min report that Amorim has been seeking help and he “has admitted that he has been in regular contact with legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson since arriving at Old Trafford.”

The Scot is still a regular presence around the club in spite of his ambassadorial salary being controversially cut by Ineos.

It had been reported that the new owners are keen to limit Ferguson’s presence around the dressing room but it appears this does not extend to the manager.

Speaking to BBC Radio Five Live Amorim claimed, “I speak with Sir Alex several times. I try to call him to keep being positive.”

“It’s really good because I feel the history of the club but it’s really hard, as they did such a good job, to be the guy leading the team at this moment. It’s really hard but we have to believe.”

Sir Alex Ferguson will know all about tough starts as United manager as he famously went without a trophy in his first three and a half years at the club before winning the FA Cup in 1990.

While the results have been abysmal, nobody can criticise Amorim for a lack of confidence and fans will be relieved that he is not afraid to tap into the incredible knowledge and experience available to him by the presence of arguably the greatest manager in the history of the game.
