Ruben Amorim could have gotten us Champions League football if he stayed. The foundation Carrick is thriving on? That’s Amorim’s work… the players he brought in, the basics he drilled, the partnerships and instincts he built. Even now, you can see traces of it… even if some of it is starting to fade in players like Mbeumo and Amad. And let’s not forget — Amorim is a big reason Bruno Fernandes is still at Manchester United. Bruno was close to leaving, but Amorim pulled him back in because he believed in his project. Say what you want, but the roots of this progress didn’t just appear overnight.

A hill you’re willing to die on?

I think he can improve on that. “I believe A LOT in Kobbie, but some of you think that he is already done [the finished article]. “I think he can do so much better, he can improve a lot. For some guys it [talent] is enough, but for him it’s not enough. “Maybe it’s not fair, but I think I'm helping Kobbie. He will have opportunities like the other guys.”
