Amorim says he has 'learnt a lot' and that he is able to 'stick with his beliefs' at Man Utd

Ruben Amorim has told how he has "learnt a lot" at Manchester United and importantly that he is able to stick to what he believes in.

Saturday’s Premier League trip to the City Ground comes on the one-year anniversary of the Portuguese’s appointment as Erik ten Hag’s successor.Amorim was unable to oversee an immediate upturn as United stumbled home 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final, leading to criticism by all and sundry.

United head to the City Ground on the back of three straight wins as things finally start to look up for Amorim after a topsy-turvy start to life at the helm.

Amorim told a press conference ahead of the game: "Was a journey. It was a big journey. It was tough. It was really tough. Good moments, bad moments. I learned a lot. That is really important.

"I found out that even in my lower moments I can stick with the things that I believe and that is a good thing for anyone to understand that.

"Today the answer is different from three weeks ago, so it's important to understand that. So it's one of the biggest honours of my life to be here and I want to continue here for many years."

United have had a full week to prepare for the trip to Forest, which saw defender Lisandro Martinez train with the group on Wednesday for the first time since sustaining an ACL injury in February.

“He wants to go to this one, he is not going to this one, he is going to take time,” Amorim said.

“He started training with us, but we had to change some things in the exercise for him, so slowly he is going to get better.

“It’s really good and he gives us that edge in every training session. That is also really good for us. The rest of the guys, we have one more day. I don’t know about Harry Maguire. I think the rest is fit.”
