Ruben Amorim makes Man Utd transfers vow as new boss wastes no time in stamping authority on new employers

RUBEN AMORIM insists he will have the final say on all transfers and comings and goings at Man Utd.

The new manager held his first press conference today and wasted no time in emphasizing his authority over the club.

Amorim, 39, replaces Erik ten Hag as manager, appointed by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new senior management team of Omar Berrada, Sir David Brailsford, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox.

The board has had a disastrous summer, full of bungling in dealing with former boss Ten Hag and with dubious recruitment.

For example, they saddled Ten Hag with frontman flop Joshua Zirkzee in the belief that he was a good investment, while the former boss did not ask about him.

But the new guy says he won't be a fraud.

Former Sporting Lisbon coach Amorim revealed: “The final word should be the manager's.

'Not only because it is your right, but also your responsibility.

“Because ultimately the results are up to me.

“I have a great responsibility when we choose players because this is something that has to be done this way.

“I'm the manager, the head coach, so I have to choose the players.”

Amorim stressed that the senior management team will have to help him improve the club's transfer business, but said the money remains on his desk.

He said: “Everyone has to work together and for that we have to improve the process of recruitment, the dates, the profile of the players we want, but I have to have a strong position in that because I am the coach, I know how to play. ”

The new head coach held his first press conference as United boss at The Carrington Training Ground.

He was confident about how he can be different from David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ten Hag by taking the club back to where they were under Sir Alex Ferguson.

He said: “You had different types of coaches here.

“So the guys who won everything, like Van Gaal and Mourinho, you had new players who knew the club inside and out, like Solskjaer, and one of the best there will ever be outside the five strongest leagues was Ten Hag.

“You have different types of coaches, the same result. We will try to do it our way, Ineos' way and my way.”
