Licha: Ruben gives us everything

Lisandro Martinez says he sees passion and determination in Ruben Amorim’s eyes as our new head coach aims to take Manchester United forward.

It has been a difficult festive period for the Reds, with three consecutive defeats in all competitions, to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-final and against AFC Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Even after early victories following his November arrival, Amorim warned fans and journalists that “a storm” would come and while we’re feeling the effects of that, Martinez is certain of Ruben’s drive and ability to guide the club through it.

Licha: I see it in Ruben’s eyes

“You see it in Ruben’s eyes” | Lisandro Martinez speaks to external broadcasters about Amorim and the 2022 World Cup…

“When you say good morning to him and look at his eyes, you see everything,” Martinez told external broadcasters ahead of our final game of 2024, at home to Newcastle United.

“I see a lot of passion from him and his desire to put Manchester United in the highest levels, in the way he’s here every day in the training and in the games.”

Martinez has started nine of Amorim’s 11 games in charge, adapting to a new defensive system which features a three-man back-line, supplemented with two wing-backs.

“I think I’m a player who adapts in every system, I take the information and I adapt quickly,” Martinez reflected.

Ruben Amorim in United Review says

“I have seen enough in the last few weeks to recognise that we have many of the ingredients we need for success, and I remain as convinced as I was on my first day here that we will achieve it.”

“And with him, with Ruben, I always have an options to play, I always have some teammates there to pass the ball, and movement as well in the front, and defensive as well. We are in a high line [and] when we press high, I know where to go. He give us all the information, which is really good for us.”
