As Manchester United’s UEFA Europa League clash with Rangers came to a dramatic close, the home fans serenaded Ruben Amorim with chants of his name.
The Portuguese manager, ever humble, admitted he doesn’t feel worthy of such an honor yet. However, in this instance, the sound of Ruben Amorim’s Red and White Army must have been music to his ears.
United appeared on the brink of yet another frustrating result after conceding a late equalizer against the run of play. But, in true captain’s fashion, Bruno Fernandes rescued the day with a stoppage-time winner, sealing a tense 2-1 victory.
The dramatic winner prompted Ruben Amorim to turn to his bench, fists clenched in a rare display of emotion. It was a goal he desperately needed.
Amorim has admitted this season would be a roller coaster, and the clash with Rangers encapsulated that perfectly packing all the highs and lows of the campaign into a single, nerve-wracking match.
