Ruben Amorim's choice of car speaks volumes about incoming Manchester United manager
Ruben Amorim, the newly appointed manager of Manchester United following Erik ten Hag's departure, is set to bring a touch of modesty to the club.
Known for snubbing lavish supercars that many modern footballers have, Amorim will officially take the reins next Monday (November 11), much to the excitement of fans eager to see him at Old Trafford. Despite the anticipation, Amorim plans to keep a low profile in Manchester, having previously shown a preference for driving a conservative vehicle over flashy sports cars.
Former course mates Petter Skogsletten and Geoff Labine, who studied alongside Amorim for a master's degree in high-performance football coaching at the University of Lisbon, have shared insights into his humble nature. Skogsletten remarked on Amorim's relatability, stating: "For him, it doesn't matter if you've been playing at this level, he's at the same level as you. He opened up and he was himself with you."

Labine also commented on Amorim's down-to-earth approach to life, recalling a conversation where he highlighted the contrast between Amorim's choice of car and the luxury vehicles one might expect. "I would joke with Ruben because he's driving the most unassuming Smart car, those little cube cars.
"I'm looking for the Maserati or the Bugatti or something. He goes: 'No Geoff, you don't understand. I'm different. I'm not like that." Amorim's humble nature has been lauded once again as he gears up to take charge at Old Trafford.
