00:00When Ruben Amorim came in, he came in with a very clear way of the way he wanted to play football and I mean something you obviously aspired to do as well.
00:11And how much respect do you have to give him given the noise going on, given the problems that are clearly going on at that club in terms of him keeping what he wants to do in that kind of, you know, in that focus?
00:28Yeah, look, I mean I've got respect for all managers because I know how tough it is, but I'm sure if you asked Ruben that he would say, well he's just doing what he was brought in to do.
00:39And you know, there's no point, you know, he's come in to, obviously they've scouted him, they've identified him, the way he plays, the way he goes about his business.
00:52You don't just make these appointments because, you know, you like the look of someone, you do actually a lot of work and you bring him in with a purpose.
01:00Now if anyone believes that anything can change significantly in a short space of time, living in an alternate universe that's not based in reality, you know.
01:12I'm sure if, and I might have sort of advised anybody, but, you know, if Man United stuck with Ruben for the next two years they'd see progress, absolutely, because that's how long it takes.
01:23And if somebody can show me somebody who's done it quicker, without significant investment, by all means put it across my desk and I'll follow that blueprint.
01:32But we know there's a blueprint there and, you know, I'm sure irrespective of the noise, and like I said, I've only literally spoken to Ruben maybe for 30 seconds at a game, I'm sure he's there and he's going, you know what, I'm going to do what I was brought in to do and that's what he should do.
