Soon to be Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaks ahead of facing future rivals Manchester City

00:00If we win tomorrow, they will think that the new Alex Ferguson has arrived.

00:11I feel like a better coach. Unfortunately, what I feel is that Pepe Guardiola is also a better coach,

00:16and therefore the distance is still maintained.

00:19Then we play in different championships, completely different realities,

00:23but I also think City is more complete.

00:26It is more difficult to understand what City will do than it was at the time,

00:31and at the time it was already more difficult.

00:38Going back to the same subject, I went to England, I didn't negotiate anything,

00:44I just met the owner and I already had my decision made.

00:48So I didn't negotiate anything. I stayed because I decided to stay.

00:52Because I talked to the president and he convinced me to stay another year,

00:58and I decided to stay another year.

01:06And I don't think it's a bad starting point when you start with Manchester United.

01:11If we win tomorrow, they will think that the new Alex Ferguson has arrived,

01:17which is very difficult to maintain.

01:20So I would say that, regardless of the expectations and the elections tomorrow,

01:25I don't care about that.

01:27What I care about is winning the game, having a good farewell in Alvalade,

01:31winning in Braga and then starting a new life in Manchester.

01:35You heard the captain of the team, and he clearly said that he didn't need a coach anymore.

01:48They are very mature, they understand the game very well, they are prepared,

01:57and I believe that it won't make a difference in the end.
