Usain Bolt's comment on Amorim
Bolt, an eight-time Olympic champion, is a die-hard Man United fan. He saw his team win big trophies under Sir Alex Ferguson but has also witnessed a drastic decline.
The Jamaican icon is excited about Amorim's appointment and hopes he brings success to Old Trafford.
"I'm really excited! The fact that he (Ruben Amorim) beat Pep twice is wonderful. I heard his first interview, and it seems like he is going to bring identity to the club and that's what we were missing, the identity. So I'm excited to see if the players can work with him and stand behind him and do a great job" Bolt said via Sky Sports.
The Red Devils have made a poor start to the season but are only four points off the top four. Therefore, Amorim is expected to finish in the top four in the remaining games.
In his last home game, Amorim's Sporting CP beat Pep Guasrdiola's Manchester City 4-1 in the Champions League, per Transfermarkt.
