Ruben Amorim insists he will not seek advice from legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson as he embarks on his quest to restore Manchester United to greatness.

Amorim has yet to meet the Scotland international and the 39-year-old has made it clear he will not reopen the locked dressing room doors that were closed last month after executives were told to keep their distance from United’s players. The Portuguese

insists he wants to be himself when it comes to restoring the glory that United enjoyed under Ferguson before he retired 11 years ago.

The Portuguese insists he must be his own man when it comes to the task of bringing back the kind of glory days that United last enjoyed under the Scot before he retired 11 years ago. Amorim accepts that Guardiola’s decision to sign a contract extension that will keep him at the Etihad until the summer of 2027 makes his job much harder than it might have been.

But while Ferguson once leaned on the guidance of Sir Matt Busby before making his own history at Old Trafford, the new man made it clear that he wants the past to stay exactly where it is.

Asked if he had met the 13-time Premier League winner, Amorim said: http://ufabet999.app “No, I haven’t had the chance. It’s hard to copy someone, so I have to be myself. “

This is a club that needs to win, so we have to show that to our players. But it’s a different time. I can’t be the same as Sir Alex Ferguson. “The times

are different and I have to have a different approach. But I can also express my desires in a different way and that’s where I’m at.”
