Ruben Amorim has detailed a conversation he had with former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.Mourinho, highly regarded as one of the greatest managers in the game, spent two years at Old Trafford following the legendary reign of Sir Alex Ferguson.

When he was first appointed manager of Chelsea, Jose Mourinho strode into his unveiling press conference and held the Premier League in his hand. It was spellbinding. It remains the most charismatic briefing I have ever attended.

Ruben Amorim says Jose Mourinho was quick to send him a message after he took the Manchester United job, and he agreed with the former manager’s sentiments. Amorim was appointed earlier this month but will finally take charge of the team for the first time on Sunday at Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
