Ruben Amorim has stunningly admitted he ‘doesn’t like’ Manchester United fans chanting his name, but is ‘really honoured’ by the gesture.
The United head coach has won two of his first three games in charge of the club, and while far from perfect, the team have shown great signs of improvement.
Red Devils fans have wasted no time in trying to make the new boss feel welcome at Old Trafford, quickly coming up with a chant for him.
Supporters have been singing ‘Ruben Amorim’ and ‘Ruben’s at the wheel’ to the tune of Give It Up by KC and the Sunshine Band, with the song heard loud and clear during the 4-0 Premier League win against Everton on Sunday.
But when asked about the chant and the growing connection between himself and fans, Amorim revealed he was a little uncomfortable with being serenaded.
‘I don’t like my chant. I don’t like it,’ the 39-year-old said while smiling in his press conference ahead of Wednesday night’s clash at Arsenal.
‘I feel a little bit… not embarrassed but because I’m the coach. They have to chant for the players and for the club, so it’s not a good thing for me.
