Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says he's a better coach since leaving Sporting CP for Old Trafford a year ago.

Ahead of tonight's clash with Newcastle, Amorim reflected on the past year in England.

"I wish I could go back to last year. We suffered a lot at the time and I wanted to do things completely differently," said Amorim.

He says he has learned more at United than in the five previous years as a coach.

"I've learned more this year than in the other five years as a coach. I want to do many things a different way, not only in general, but also in the field, in the way we play the game."

Amorim emphasises that he has spent a lot of time analysing previous matches to understand how he can make his team better. 

"It's hard to point to one thing, but getting the full benefit of the squad I had last year may not always be the right choices. 

"I've seen the fighting from last season to understand things in a different way."

Overall, the Portuguese believe he has become a better coach now than he was when he joined the job in November 2024. "I'm another coach today. I might want to do 75 percent of things differently, but the most important things the red lines will be the same. I think I'm a better coach now," concludes Amorim.
