Amorim vows to restore Man Utd to where club 'belongs'

Manchester United's new head coach Ruben Amorim says he is confident of putting the club back where it "belongs".

Amorim flew into Manchester on Monday after being confirmed as Erik ten Hag’s replacement.

The 39-year-old is the seventh man since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013 to take up the challenge of trying to get United competing for major trophies again.

None of them has been able to engineer a sustained Premier League title push, taken United beyond the last eight of the Champions League or completed three full seasons in the job.

In his first public comments since arriving in the UK, former Sporting boss Amorim told United's club media he is determined to change that narrative.
