The press room at Old Trafford was packed when the Portuguese held his first major press conference as coach for the Premier League team.
It has been said that he gets perhaps the toughest job in the football world. But that it would be an impossible task, Amorim does not believe.
Really not. Call me naive, but I really believe I'm the right person at the right time. I'm not worried, he says according to BBC.
I'm a bit of a dreamer, I believe in myself. I want to try new things. You don't think it's possible, but I do.
Amorim, who has made a success with Sporting Lisbon, says he wants to improve the players' physical fitness in order to eventually win titles. The changes in the game he wants to make are:
We lose the ball too often, we need to get better at working at home and we need to be very good at the details.
When asked about the comparison between him and the club's previous Portuguese coach José Mourinho, Amorim says he is a different type of coach.
Football is different today, I think I'm the right person right now. I'm young and use that to help my players.
Rúben Amorim's first match as head coach for United will be Sunday's Premier League match against Ipswich.
When you see the team on Sunday, it's the same players, but the game will be different.
