London: Ruben Amorim says he feels uncomfortable with the song Manchester United fans sing about him, urging supporters to focus on his players.
The new United manager, who has won two and drawn one of his three games in charge, has spoken of his appreciation at his warm welcome since replacing the sacked Erik ten Hag.
But the former Sporting Lisbon boss, speaking ahead of Wednesday's match against Arsenal, said the vocal support for him, to the tune of "Give it Up" by KC and the Sunshine Band, made him feel uneasy.
"I don't like my chant," Amorim said on Monday. "I don't like it. I feel a little bit... not embarrassed, but because I'm the coach they have to chant for the players and for the club.
"It's not a good thing for me. I understand and I really appreciate the connection with the supporters, but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch, I'm outside the pitch.
