Manchester United fans will surely be excited to see Rio Ferdinand’s reaction to watching clips of a Ruben Amorim training session.
The prestigious young Portuguese tactician has just become Man Utd’s new manager and will take charge of his first game for the club this weekend.
Man Utd legend approaches new SHOCK job!
Amorim has a strong reputation from his time in charge of Sporting Lisbon, and all eyes will be on him this weekend when he takes on Ipswich Town in his first game for the Red Devils.
This is a big challenge for Amorim as United are not the force they once were, and have suffered a poor start to the season, but Ferdinand seems to like what he is seeing from the 39-year-old so far.
Check out Ferdinand’s post on X below, which strongly suggests he’s convinced Amorim could be the real deal…

While it’s hard to read too much into short training clips, Amorim seems to be making his voice heard during these sessions, and the players look pretty sharp too.
Change won’t happen overnight, but this looks very promising from the new manager as he looks to make an instant impact and show what all the hype is about.
Can Ruben Amorim succeed where his predecessors failed?
United have had a series of very different managers since the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, with David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag all having their own problems and reasons for failure .
Amorim will be hoping to bring something different to the job and get this club back to where they want to be, but it’s clear it won’t be easy when you look at the list of names who have tried and failed.
Ferdinand was a star player in Ferguson’s top United teams, so he will know a thing or two about what it takes for a manager to succeed at Old Trafford, so his positive reaction here must surely be encouraging.
