Ruben Amorim, director of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim He admits that the work Mikel Arteta has done in Arsenal is an inspiration for him, although this also came with a slight excavation to the Gunners.
Speaking before the big game this weekend, while Man UTD is preparing to host Arsenal at Old Trafford, Amorim made it clear that these are very different clubs.
Amorim emphasized that, although Arteta has done a great job to give things to Arsenal, he will not have so much time to do so in United.
“I will not have the time he had Arteta, I think it is a different club,” said Amorim.
“I think in this regard, the way Arteta tried to be an inspiration for everyone, but I will not have the time as Arteta.”
Although the former Lisbon sports chief did not make it clear explicitly, it seems that it is strongly suggested that there is a great gap in terms of the ambition of these two teams and the pressure involved in managing them.
Ruben Amorim Feel the pressure at Manchester United
We know that United is still one of the most spoken clubs in world football, even if it has been a bit of Lean for them since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
Club fans have high expectations after such a glorious period under Ferguson, and are still able to sign some of the best players in the world for great money.
Amorim has not been in MUFC for so long, but he has clearly seen what the big club is and what a high pressure work is.
Although Arsenal is also a great name in English football and beyond, it is not the same, and Arteta may always have a little more patience, as he slowly rebuilt the team.
Some AFC fans could not take too much kindness in Amorim’s comments, but it will be interesting to see what kind of atmosphere creates this weekend.
