I spent a week with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United and this is what I learnt

When Ruben Amorim was shown around Carrington last week and given an insight into the £50m redevelopment that will transform Manchester United's training ground, he would have given the plans his seal of approval.

Amorim was talking about the changes required at Carrington as far back as 2018. During his week-long internship at United under Jose Mourinho, while studying for a master's in high-performance football coaching at the University of Lisbon, Amorim and his fellow students discussed the layout of the training ground with Mourinho and his staff.

It has been accepted for a while that Carrington needed major redevelopment work to keep pace with the quality of new training grounds built around the Premier League.

The subject was high on the agenda again when Cristiano Ronaldo criticised the facilities on his acrimonious departure in 2022.
