“I don’t like…” Rúben Amorim calls for Manchester United fans to STOP chanting his name

Rúben Amorim has called for Manchester United fans to stop chanting his name and instead sing about his players in the coming games.

United currently sit 9th in the Premier League table, but are just four points off Brighton, who sit 4th in the league, occupying the lowest of the Champions League qualification spots.
