BBC Sport presenter Mark Chapman has been getting to know Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim in an exclusive Football Focus interview, with the Portuguese manager explaining why he appears to be “very relaxed” in his new job.

“I will be OK – no matter what,” Amorim said. “In this stage of my life, I will be OK so that’s why I am relaxed.

“Everybody says to me: ‘This will change me’. This will not change me.

“If something happens, I will be frustrated for a while but I know I will recover. But I believe that we are going to succeed.

“I’m ready. When I had this invitation, I felt that it was really hard to leave my players at Sporting. But, when I had this opportunity, I felt I had to do this [and make the move].

“Maybe it is destiny and I will be a little bit lucky in the beginning and then everything is going to be fine.”
