Ruben Amorim shows his true colours by surprising Man Utd fan with incredible gesture at Carrington

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been praised after surprising a young fan outside the club's Carrington training base.

Back in October, it was confirmed that Erik ten Hag had been sacked as United manager after another dismal start to the season.

Afterwards, it was quickly revealed that the Old Trafford club had then-Sporting Clube de Portugal boss Amorim as their top target.

In November, the 39-year-old Portuguese took over the reins at Old Trafford looking to reignite the club's faltering campaign.

However, it has been a tough start for Amorim as United currently sit 14th in the Premier League and are on a three-match losing streak.

Over the weekend, a video went viral on social media which showed Amorim interacting with a young fan outside United's Carrington training base.

After being told by the young fan that he likes his car, Amorim decided to invite him for a ride around the training ground.

Reacting on social media, fans were quick to praise Amorim for his kind gesture.

One fan said: "Ruben is a class act."

Another tweeted: "What a classy classy gesture!"

A third fan added: "I love Almiriom. Ok, on the pitch it's not going well. But he comes across as a decent guy. He will get it right, I just feel we need to give him a lot of time."

Someone else wrote: "What a man."

On Monday night, United will return to Premier League action when they welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Amorim said: "We have to fight against everything, because our supporters are always there. But they are tired of this moment.

We have to expect that any play from Newcastle near our box is going to make the stadium nervous and our players have to cope with that."

He continued: "It is a very strong team, very fast, with a lot of pace and a lot of time with the same coach. We want to be competitive and try to win the game. That is all."
