Ferguson recently told Press Box PR that he felt United are “now in the same situation” as Liverpool were when they went 30 years without winning the title. The club great said it “could be 10 years, 11 years” until the Premier League trophy returns to Old Trafford, but Amorim is confident it will not take that long. “He understands football more than me, especially English football,” the current United boss told reporters on Friday.

And I don’t know which manager is going to be here. “But I truly believe that we can fight for the title in the next (few) years. And I think it’s not going to take so many years.” United are sixth in the Premier League table ahead of Sunday’s match against third-placed Aston Villa after an inconsistent season so far. Amorim was also asked at his pre-match press conference for his reaction to comments given by Bruno Fernandes to Portuguese media, in which the club captain said United had wanted to sell him in the summer transfer window.

Amorim said his Portuguese compatriot, who joined United in 2020, had “said what he’s feeling”.

Fernandes also suggested not everybody defended United the way he does. “I don’t know if it’s fair,” said Amorim. “He just spoke about his feelings. He needs to answer to that, it’s not me. “I think he’s an example that he gives everything. He puts everything on the line in every training session and every match. In that department, he’s special.” AFP Join Our Whatsapp Channel To join: Simply click on the link below & turn on notifications to get the latest updates In This Article: Man.
