Ruben Amorim has spoken for the first time publicly after he was sacked by Man United.

The 40-year-old’s time at United will likely be remembered as an unmitigated disaster, having struggled to implement his favoured 3-4-3 system.

Appointed to replace Erik ten Hag just over a year ago, his record will go down as the worst of any permanent United manager in the Premier League era, with a win percentage of just 31.9%.

Amorim’s explosive interview following the 1-1 Premier League draw with Leeds on Sunday (January 4), alluded to trouble with the club’s higher-ups.

He has since decided to face the press, taking a leisurely and snowy walk through the Manchester suburb of Hale with his wife Maria.
