Manchester United legend Paul Scholes likened the excitement surrounding Ruben Amorim’s potential appointment to the early anticipation around Erik ten Hag’s arrival at the club.
Scholes suggested that the “hype” feels similar, hinting at the high expectations for Amorim’s coaching skills and tactical potential if he were to take over.
Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Scholes said: “I think Thomas Tuchel was the right one to coach Manchester United, but obviously he’s gone now with England. He’s someone that can manage an elite football club and win big games. He’s been there and done it.”
He added: “On Ruben Amorim – [the hype] feels a bit like Erik ten Hag [joined Manchester United]. He’s coming from the Portuguese league which is a bit better than the Dutch league. What he’s done there has been good – he looks charismatic, and he has a bit about him.”
