RUBEN AMORIM has called for Manchester United fans to stop chanting his name.

The new Old Trafford boss has had a flying start with a draw away at Ipswich followed by two wins scoring four goals each time.

The fans have been chanting ‘Ruben Amorim’ to the tune of KC and The Sunshine Band’s song ‘Give It Up’ since that first game and most vocally during their 4-0 victory over Everton on Sunday.

But Amorim said: “I don’t like my chant. I don’t like it. I feel a little bit…not embarrassed, but because I’m the coach, they have to chant for the players and for the club. So it’s not a good thing for me.

“I understand and really appreciate the connection with the supporters but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch and I’m outside the pitch.

“But I am really honoured by that, I feel a connection with the supporters but we know we need results to maintain that.”

The club is attempting to boost staff morale behind the scenes by using Amorim’s instant link with every member of United.

After 250 redundancies, that is at an all-time low.

Under the cost-cutting measures of new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, employees who had worked for 25 years or more were occasionally put go.

In an attempt to energize the 600 employees, Amorim spoke to them at a meeting this afternoon at Old Trafford.

He said: “We had a meeting with all the staff, we are trying to connect everybody, the sports departments, this facility, the people far from Carrington.

“We are trying to build a connection to be a bit closer, Carrington and the stadium, that was the reason.

“The pedigree, the size of the club, this is something we have to use.

“It’s a key point for us is connection with everybody to put this club in the place that it needs to be.”

They are certainly in a better place now than they were under Erik ten Hag this season.
