Apologetic Amorim

Ruben Amorim was full of apologies when he arrived for his news conference 25 minutes later than scheduled on Friday.

The assembled journalists had already been told the planned 13:15 GMT start time would be delayed as training had started late.

But Amorim even missed the second deadline.

He said sorry a few times, then, jokingly, blamed the club official who sits with him at the news conference table.

When he was leaving, he asked the journalists not to write it was the official’s fault.

The Premier League does not like clubs to hold their media conferences after 13:30 on a Friday, even if, as in this instance, they are playing on a Monday.

I doubt United will get into trouble.
