Man Utd star reveals Ruben Amorim’s best qualities

Sharing with talkSPORT, Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot appreciates the honesty that coach Ruben Amorim shows his players.

Since being appointed in November last year to replace Erik ten Hag, coach Ruben Amorim has gone through challenging days at Old Trafford. Under his leadership, Manchester United have only won 12/29 matches, lost 10 and are currently struggling in 13th place in the Premier League table.

Despite the team’s not-so-positive situation, defender Diogo Dalot, one of the 40-year-old’s most trusted players, has still spoken out in support of his new coach. Sharing with talkSPORT, Diogo Dalot said that what he appreciates most in the Portuguese strategist is his honesty.

“I think one of the greatest compliments you can give him is his honesty. When Ruben Amorim speaks, you can feel that he is not looking for a perfect answer, but that he is speaking from the heart. That is very rare in football,” the No. 20 defender said.

He continued: “Of course, people will judge him by his words and actions. That is an inevitable part of football. Just like we, as players, are judged by what we do on the pitch, coaches have to face that too. But Ruben Amorim is a great communicator.”

Diogo Dalot’s words of encouragement are a rare bright spot in a turbulent period for Manchester United, where the 40-year-old is still trying to shape the style of play and inspire the team in the final stages of the season.

In another development, Manchester United continued to suffer a 0-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest, a match that exposed many problems of the “Red Devils”.
