Ruben Amorim admits he is uncomfortable with the tribute song Manchester United fans have for their new head coach.
Supporters have been singing Amorin’s name to the tune of Give it Up by KC and the Sunshine Band since his first game away at Ipswich last month.
But the 39-year-old was a little shy when asked it about ahead of Wednesday’s game against Arsenal at the Emirates, saying that he would prefer it if fans chanted for the players instead.
‘I don’t like my chant,’ said Amorim. ‘I feel a little bit, not embarrassed, but because I’m the coach, they have to chant for the players and for the club. So it’s not a good thing for me.
‘I understand and really appreciate the connection with the supporters, but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch and I’m outside the pitch.
‘But I am really honoured by that. I feel a connection with the supporters, but we know we need results to maintain that.’
Amorim attended an all-staff meeting at Old Trafford on Wednesday when he was once again reminded of the size of the club he has joined. ‘We had a meeting with all the staff, trying to connect everybody, the sports department, this facility (Old Trafford), the people far from Carrington,’ said Amoirm. ‘We are trying to build a connection to be a bit closer, Carrington and the stadium, that was the reason.
‘The pedigree, the size of the club, this is something we have to use. It’s a key point for us, also improving the other things, connection with everybody to put this club in the place that it needs to be.’
