Ruben Amorim, the newly appointed manager of AC Milan, has acknowledged that his time at Manchester United was marked by errors he wants to avoid repeating. Amorim took charge of the English club in November 2024 and left in January 2026, managing just 24 wins in 63 games. Despite being one of the most promising young managers in Portugal, his tenure at Old Trafford, known for being a challenging environment for even experienced managers, somewhat tarnished his reputation. Since joining AC Milan in June, Amorim has remained unbeaten in his first five Serie A matches, securing three wins and two draws. Most recently, Milan defeated Lecce 3-0 at the San Siro, with goals from Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, and Diego Moreira. This performance marked a positive start for Amorim, who is now looking to adopt a more flexible approach to tactics compared to his time at United, where he relied heavily on a 3-4-3 formation that didn’t always yield the best results. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Amorim emphasized the importance of adapting his strategies to the strengths of his current squad. "Today the players had more freedom; in recent games we were a bit too static, stuck," he said. "I can't repeat my mistakes from Manchester. If we don't have the characteristics to play a certain way, we have to adapt." He also praised the tactical acumen of Italian coaches, noting that they are particularly skilled in pressing opponents individually. Amorim's team is not the only one in Serie A without a loss, as Roma, Inter, and Lazio also have 13 points from five games. However, he is content with being two points behind these teams, believing his squad has the potential to earn more points in future matches. "We need to be balanced in our assessments, but we deserved more points," he said, referencing two games that ended in draws. Despite being slightly behind the leaders, Amorim remains optimistic about his team's prospects. Belgium international Alexis Saelemaekers echoed this sentiment after the win against Lecce, saying, "I think we are players who speak the same football language, we understand each other with just a glance." He praised Amorim’s ability to communicate his vision and noted the strong team spirit, with contributions from players coming off the bench, including Moreira’s crucial goal. Saelemaekers believes the group has a unique chemistry that could drive them forward in the season.
