Ruben Amorim admits he ‘doesn’t like’ new Man Utd chant after Red Devils win

Ruben Amorim has admitted to not liking a new Manchester United chant.

Fans of the club have been chanting the Portuguese managers' name to the tune of Give it Up by KC and the Sunshine Band. The chant has been sung ever since Amorim took charge of his first United game away at Ipswich last month.

Although the song is clearly sung in favour of the new United coach, Amorim doesn't like it very much. Instead, he would much prefer that the fans chants were focused on his players.

He said ahead of the clash against Arsenal on Wednesday: "I don't like my chant. I feel a little bit, not embarrassed, but because I'm the coach, they have to chant for the players and for the club. So it's not a good thing for me.

"I understand and really appreciate the connection with the supporters, but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch and I'm outside the pitch.

"But I am really honoured by that. I feel a connection with the supporters, but we know we need results to maintain that."

Amorim's start to life at United has gotten off well. Although it kicked off with a lacklustre 1-1 draw against Ipswich, he has since beaten Bode/Glimt 3-2 in the Europa League, followed by a 4-0 win against Everton on Sunday.

Although undefeated, United were clearly not where Amorim would like them to be across all three games. Even in the thrashing over Everton, the Toffees had some fantastic attacking opportunities only to be let down by their defence.

The Portuguese manager had attended an all-staff meeting on Wednesday as he was reminded again of the size of the club. He said: "We had a meeting with all staff, trying to connect everybody, the sports department, this facility (Old Trafford), the people far from Carrington.

"We are trying to build a connection to be a bit closer, Carrington and the stadium, that was the reason.

"The pedigree, the size of the club, this is something we have to use. It's a key point for us, also improving the other things, connection with everybody to put this club in the place it needs to be."
