Man Utd take note: Amorim delivers bold remarks ahead of meeting the Red Devils
Ruben Amorim, the strict head coach of AC Milan, aims to lead his team to defeat his former club, Manchester United, in tonight's friendly (Saturday, 15 Aug 2026 GMT+7) at the Tarczyński Arena (neutral venue, Poland), despite their shared past.
Amorim said, "It will be a good friendly match, not just because of the competition, but because it feels like meeting old friends again."
"I spent a significant part of my career at Manchester United, and I have great respect for the club, the staff, the players, and the fans."
"But of course, once the game starts, both teams want to win. That’s football, and that’s why we are here."
"However, before and after the match, there will always be a special feeling because Manchester United is an important chapter in my life."
"It will be great to see familiar faces again, to laugh and enjoy this opportunity, but I hope that after the final whistle, we will be the ones smiling.”
