AMORIM PROUD OF STICKING TO BELIEFS

Red Devils boss 'learns a lot' during rough ride as EPL side begin to turn corner at last

- 

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim described his first year at the Old Trafford club as a roller-coaster journey on Oct 30, but took heart in staunchly sticking to his principles as the English Premier League club finally show signs of progress.

After enduring heavy criticism for his formations and tactics, United finally won three games in a row for the first time under the Portuguese manager, who in November will mark his one-year anniversary at the club.

United sit sixth in the standings with 16 points after nine games, six points behind leaders Arsenal and a point ahead of reigning champions Liverpool.

"It was a journey, a big journey. It was really tough. Good moments, bad moments. I learnt a lot, that is really important," Amorim told reporters ahead of a Nov 1 trip to Nottingham Forest.

"I learnt that even in my lower moments, I can stick with the thing I believe and that is a good thing for anyone to understand.

"Today, the answer is different from three weeks ago, so it is important to understand that. It is one of the big honours of my life to be here and I want to continue here for many years."
