Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

I hope they were proper loud and big slaps on the back. Nothing sounds like togetherness than hearing that.
 
I can see why he wanted RvN gone. He s like a shorter southern European version. There would be some confusion in the showers when players suddenly get a smack on the butt and think it's Ruud.

It was tongue in cheek mate. ;) His name is confusing cos it’s spelt Amorim but pronounced Amorine.

Its funny that the Caf always manages to mangle our players and staff names though! :lol:

It’s not pronounced like that in Portuguese mate.

Quite a few players have said similar things. He likes to create a family-like environment (one of the reasons why he likes smaller squads) where everyone genuinely enjoys working and spending time together.
I don't know if I can post links or not, therefore I'd advise you guys to check Sporting's YouTube page, and watch the Backstage videos. There's usually one per week, and they give a glimpse about what goes on "behind the scenes". There's also Inside videos, but those are fewer and far between.

Rúben Amorim

For 4 years I thought the same, but in his last post game presser he confirmed that there's no accent/diacritic in his name.
Therefore the correct form is Ruben Amorim.

You wrote “amorine”
Like she explained we don’t say the “m” at the end. And we definitely don’t say any “e”.

It’s a INE sound (een if you prefer) like she says ‘sINg’ and ‘jardIN’ - I wrote it phonetically.

You’re giving me lots of nots, but you’re not correcting. How should it be?

Pfft… are you even Portuguese?!! ;):lol:

Anyone seen that Friends episode where a depressed Joey “breaks” the worlds happiest dog? It just popped into my head for some reason.

Dude it’s not the same.
She explained it, “een”, or “in” you can hear the “n” at the end.

The “im” is a nasal sound, doesn’t sound like “in”.

Nice. He seems like a really positive bloke. ETH had become a major downer so this is a new lease of life. We looked better under Ruud so I’m hopeful. There is improvement there to be had with amad Rasmus Mainoo Ugarte Shaw Mount Yoro still to hit their peaks. Hopefully Bruno can kick on now too. I hope he starts Amad and Bruno behind Rasmus, I think they would make chances for fun and they all put the work in off the ball.

There’s plenty to be optimistic about. This season may still flop but I like the appointments and the signings and agree with all of the sales. Finally competent people are making the big calls. I feel like they won’t always let the next big thing slip through their fingers when there’s a good chance of getting them like the last crowd did repeatedly.

That's what he wrote - "een". He's got it.

Now, about this hacking the back of your throat sound with 'Ruben'...

Is that negotiable?

Not if you want to say it properly. ;)
But he's almost certainly used to it, I know I am. My name is Rui, so I know how hard that hard "R" sound is for most English speakers.

But it’s not “een”, if I say for instance “spleen” you hear the n at the end.

In Amorim, you don hear any n at the end, you have to stop short of saying the “n”subtle but it’s quite noticeable for Portuguese speakers.

Now for Ruben ahah, just think car sound.

Rrrrruben.
