Manchester United centre-back Leny Yoro recently shared intriguing insights into Ruben Amorim’s training methods, highlighting the coach’s strict approach to discipline both on and off the field.
Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho have experienced the head coach’s displeasure, having been left out of the Manchester derby squad due to concerns about their off-field attitudes.
In a conversation with club legend Rio Ferdinand, Yoro emphasized that Amorim is just as hands-on during training as he is in matches. He noted that if a player is lazy, Amorim’s reaction can be severe, reminiscent of Sir Alex Ferguson’s notorious “hairdryer treatment.”
“In training, it’s really hard. But for him, it’s crucial; you play the game like you train. The key is to excel in training. If you’re not putting in the effort, he won’t tolerate it – he’ll come down on you! It’s essential because to win games and trophies, you need discipline off the pitch and punctuality.”
There are indications that Amorim became aware of Rashford’s tendency to go out before matches, which contributed to a brea
kdown in their relationship.
“He’s been at many clubs, so he understands how you feel when you’re not playing or when you have a tough game. His ability to communicate is vital for me.”
This perspective sheds light on why Amorim found success at his previous club, where he gave debuts to many talented young players who were eager to give their all for him.
Although Amorim’s start at Manchester United has been challenging, the team remains in contention for the FA Cup and the Europa League. Fans hope the 40-year-old can lead the club to some silverware this season.
