Ruben Amorim has admitted he ‘doesn’t like’ his new chant made up by the Manchester United faithful.
Amorim has enjoyed a stellar start to life in charge of the Red Devils, winning two and drawing one of his opening three matches in charge.
On the back of the misery of Erik ten Hag’s tenure, United fans have welcomed the new Amorim era with open arms.
That’s included a new chant for the former Sporting manager Amorim, which goes to the tune of Give It Up by KC & The Sunshine Band.
United fans were heard chanting ‘Na na na na na na na Ruben Amorim’ during his debut match away to Ipswich, with the tune having carried over to the recent Old Trafford outings.
But ahead of United’s midweek outing against Arsenal, Amorim has hit back at the fans chanting his name.
The 39-year-old stated: “I don’t like my chant. I don’t like it. I feel a little bit, not embarrassed, but because I’m the coach, they have to chant for the players and for the club. So it’s not a good thing for me.
“I understand and really appreciate the connection with the supporters, but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch and I’m outside the pitch.”

He added: “But I’m really honoured by that, I feel a connection with the supporters but we know we need results to maintain that.”
United fans have every right to be getting giddy, especially on the back of the three-time European champions’ thumping victory over Everton on Sunday afternoon.
Much-maligned duo Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee were both at the double, with the attacking duo netting braces either side of the break.
It was the perfect start to Premier League life at Old Trafford for Amorim, not least because his predecessor Ten Hag failed to deliver a four-goal league win during his time as boss.

There’s no rest for United though, with title challengers Arsenal next up in the league.
On United’s opponents, Amorim claimed: “They will be the best team that we faced by far, but the test is in every game.
“If you see the last game against Everton, it was really tough. It was 4-0, but everything now is a test without so many minutes to train, trying to manage the number of minutes for players who cannot manage more than one game.
“Some players have to be out of the pitch for 60-70 minutes, so it’s really hard in this moment, but they [Arsenal] are in a different point of their team, they are in a different moment.”
United travel to the Emirates Stadium to play Arsenal on Wednesday night.
