The Portuguese Football Summit is ongoing. In an interview with GIVEMESPORT, Manchester United star Nani talked about his old club's performance this season, Amorin and Bruno Fernandez and other topics.
About Manchester United's performance this season
To be honest, I have a good feeling and expectations for Manchester United this season, because we know that we need to introduce new players and we have indeed done such a thing. We are working hard to build a strong team. As we all know, playing in the Premier League is not easy. We know it takes time to get to the best results and keep winning, but I believe in the process and I believe the team has great talent and great players and it's just a matter of time. Unfortunately, every team in the Premier League is very strong, which is different from before. Now you see the smaller clubs, they are really trying their best to stay competitive, the players have power, speed and skill.
Therefore, this makes it more difficult for any coach or team trying to rebuild a new team to succeed. So we need to understand this. Obviously, fans want to see results, but if anyone really understood the game and the current situation, we would find ourselves needing more time. I hope our results can be more stable in the next games because we need this kind of performance.
About Amorim
Amorim has brought many positive influences to Manchester United. We have seen that he is trying to put the responsibility on the players, to make them understand the importance of playing for this club, to make them realize how important and serious it is to be champions here. Therefore, every game is crucial. I think that's the biggest contribution he can bring to the club because that's the kind of coach the club needs, a coach who can give the right message to the players and do the job in the right way. I believe that it won’t be long before everyone will be smiling.
About Manchester United’s lack of winning mentality
I think the change is that the number of players who are not used to playing at Manchester United has increased. Previously, if you replaced one or two players, those new players would fit in with the players already on the team. But now you've replaced almost all the players and they don't understand the mentality of the team. So it takes time to be open to new ideas, to understand how the club works and to understand what the fans think. I don't know if they can understand how to play for this club, which in my opinion is a key factor in the lack of success in the competition. But it is true that we are building a new team and creating a new environment for the club. I believe that with these new changes we will be successful.
About Bruno Fernandez
Bruno Fernandez is a very good player. I know him very well because I worked with him at Sporting CP. He has always had a strong desire to score goals and his scoring ability is also very good. He always gives his best on the court. However, he has failed to win any titles in the past few years because it does not just depend on one player but the performance of the entire team. Everything becomes complicated if the team's overall performance is inconsistent. I believe that when the team comes together and starts to perform at its best, everyone shines, like Cunha, Bruno Fernandez and Mbemo. All the players are going to start showing off their talents, which is going to be great.
