I’m not interested in the conclusions people will draw – Ruben Amorim before Champions League clash against Manchester City

Sporting CP head coach Ruben Amorim is all set to take the coaching reins at Manchester United and he said he is not interested in the conclusions people will draw after the UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester City.

The Portuguese manager noted that United fans’ expectations might drop if his team loses against the Cityzens whereas people might think he is the next Sir Alex Ferguson if they go on to stun Pep Guardiola’s men. 

Amorim said in the pre-match presser, “The conclusions that people will draw from this match are not important for me,” he said.

“If it’s a negative outcome [against City] the expectations will drop. If we win tomorrow, people will think the new Alex Ferguson has arrived and obviously it will be difficult to live up to that expectation.

“I’m not interested in the conclusions people will draw, what I’m interested in is to win the match and then start a new life in Manchester.

“We could have one situation or the other, it could increase expectations. I don’t know what is better for me.”

Meanwhile, Amorim also revealed he thought of joining Pep Guardiola’s team at Manchester City but he is happy to take the new head coach role to Old Trafford-based club.

“It’s something that crosses your mind but I never had any doubts,” Amorim told a news conference on Monday.

“My decision has been made and that’s the club I want to work for. That’s where I want to continue my career as a coach. It crossed my mind, but I decided on the club I wanted and I didn’t want anything else. I wanted Manchester United and that’s what I did.”

Sporting will take on City on Tuesday night.
