Captain Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United believes that manager Ruben Amorim can replicate his sporting success in the past at Old Trafford.
Amorim, who led to two league titles in his four and a half -year term of office, made the switch to United in November.
However, his time at the club has been a challenge so far, in which the team has only obtained 11 wins in 26 games.
Fernandes, thinking about Amorim’s term of office at his old club, said: “I knew the way sport played, I knew the fans were enthusiastic and the players were very happy with him [Amorim] there.
“I think we all saw in the last game that he had there [at Sporting] How much togetherness was there with the players and the staff at that time.
“Me and my teammates and the technical staff, including the manager, want to create that again. To make that, we naturally also need trophies. ‘
After the end of the eighth in the Premier League last season, United has a difficult start of the current campaign and currently in 14th place after a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

Fernandes, the most important score of United this season with seven goals, shoulders a considerable amount of responsibility as a captain. He also recognizes the impact that Amorim has in their native Portugal.
After Sunday’s game against Arsenal, Amorim praised the performance of the midfielder and explained that United ‘More Brunos needed, “After Fernandes had yielded a free kick in the first half and came close to scoring a late winner.
Despite their shared Portuguese roots, Fernandes clarified that his relationship with Amorim is professional instead of personal.
“I would not say that we are pretty close,” he said. “We don’t speak that much to be honest. He is a manager who is very, very quiet. It is clear that the captain is, most of the things he wants to pass on to the team come to me, but many other times it doesn’t even come from him, but from his staff.
“Of course we have a good relationship, but I would not say that it is different from any other player. I knew the things he did during sport, but it wasn’t someone I knew personally. “
