Former Manchester United manager David Moyes believes Ruben Amorim might “take time to settle in” at Old Trafford but highlights there is a lot of “privilege” and “pressure” associated with the job.

Moyes discussed his experience of taking charge of the Red Devils following the departure of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson on a special edition of BBC World Service’s Sportsworld podcast.

“It is a huge privilege to be given the chance to manage Manchester United,” Moyes said. “There are only a few people who ever get the opportunity to manage at that level.

“I haven’t managed at Real Madrid but, for me, Manchester United is a club which has bigger support worldwide. Every newspaper in the world would have been covering this story, because there are so many Manchester United supporters worldwide.

“So it is an incredible job, but it is different as well. I have to say that it carries a lot of pressure and an awful lot of media coverage. They are always looking for things on Manchester United.

“It might take a little bit of time for him to settle in but, if he gets given the time by the board, his statistics and what he’s doing at the moment shows up very well in Portugal.”
