Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim shared his thoughts ahead of the upcoming match against Leeds United. Quotes from the Portuguese official website of the club.

“I feel that this is a great derby - a wonderful atmosphere, a truly superb match, and the match at Premier-Liza’s is even better. It's just another game. I understand that for patients there is even more meaning, but we can go there and try to overcome.

I have never taken part in this derby before. A different atmosphere, a different culture, but the noise will be colossal.

It is important to understand different cultures, different derbys and their history. If you play for Manchester United, you will be prepared for everything. This is the world’s greatest lie: the skin has a lot of problems, and you don’t know how it will all end before the end of life.

I think we've started to spend more beautifully. If we have a new warehouse, we are clearly stronger in attack, but we are spoiled for details. “We want more and we can get more points in the tournament table,” said Amorim.
