Man Utd news conference: Amorim 'needs to protect family' from social media abuse

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim was asked about the online abuse directed at him: "It’s normal in any profession when you are exposed to it. I don’t read it, I protect myself. I don’t watch TV when they are talking about Manchester United. Not because I don’t agree, a lot of time I do, but it’s a way of me being healthy.

"My feeling as a coach is enough, I don’t need other feelings. The only way, there is no other way, is to protect myself.

"Of course, I lose money from sponsors. On Instagram I could earn a lot of money (but) for my protection of my family and living a normal life it is not worth some more dollars or pounds. It is not worth it.

"I protect myself and nobody can be tougher than me when we lose and when we don’t play well. Nowadays it’s really normal to have that abuse so it’s the only way to survive in this world."
