Manchester United captain, Bruno Fernandes, believes that manager Ruben Amorim can reproduce his sporting success spent in Old Trafford.
Amorim, who guided sport to two league titles during his four and a half years mandate, moved to United in November.
However, his stay at the club has been difficult so far, the team winning only 11 victories in 26 games.
Thinking about Amorim’s mandate in his former club, Fernandes said: “I knew that sport was played, I knew that the fans were excited and that the players were very satisfied with him [Amorim] there.
“I think we have all seen in the last match he had there [at Sporting] How much conviviality there were with players and staff during this period.
“Me and my teammates and the technical staff, including the director, want to recreate this. To recreate this, we obviously need trophies too. »»
After finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, United had a difficult start in the current campaign and is currently in 14th place after a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

Their attention is now turning to the Europa League, where they are faced with Real Sociedad in the second stage of their draw in the last 16th row, after shooting match 1-1.
Despite the team’s difficulties, the co -owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe also expressed his confidence in Amorim, declaring that the 40 -year -old will be at the club “for a long time”.
Fernandes, the best scorer of United this season with seven goals, assumes significant responsibility as captain. He also recognizes the impact thatMorim has in their native Portugal.
After Sunday’s match against Arsenal, Amorim rented the performance of the midfielder, declaring that United “”Need more Brunos “, after Fernandes marked a free kick in the first half and almost marked a late winner.
Despite their shared Portuguese roots, Fernandes said that his relationship with Amorim is professional rather than personal.
“I wouldn’t say that we are close enough,” he said. “We are not talking much, to be honest. He is a manager who is very, very quiet. Obviously, being the captain, most of the things he wants to get to the team come to me, but many times, that does not even come from him but from his staff.
“Obviously, we have a good relationship, but I would not say that it is different from any other player. I knew the things he did at Sporting, but it was not someone I knew personally. »»
