Amorim's promise to Man United fans
Amorim has been conducting meetings and meeting players this week as he waits for his work visa, which will allow him to start working on the training ground next week.
In his first interview, the former Sporting CP coach said fans can expect to see an identity in his new team while also stressing the importance of character.
"The character of the players. So we have to focus on that before the everything of how we play, how we press. The most important thing for me at this moment is to create the principles, the identity and the character that we had in the past," he said via Manchester Evening News.
"How to play, how to press, these small things, small details. You cannot go 100 per cent on every detail because it will be confusing for the players. So if I have to say one thing, my main goal, my first goal, is identity."
Man United lacked an identity under Erik ten Hag, but fans hope Amorim can give their team a clear playing style.
