Amorim's defiant claim: "Manchester is red and always will be"

Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has sent a clear message to their city rivals after a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory at the Etihad Stadium.

The Red Devils trailed to a first-half goal from Gvardiol but fought back in the closing stages. Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty before Amad Diallo snatched a late winner to seal a memorable victory.

But it was Amorim's post-match comments that truly captured the imagination of the United faithful. When asked about the significance of the win, the Portuguese manager declared: "Manchester is red and always will be".

The statement, a clear reference to the club's famous red color and passionate fanbase, was met with widespread approval from United supporters. It was a bold declaration of intent and a reminder of the fierce rivalry between the two Manchester clubs.

Amorim's appointment as manager has brought a renewed sense of optimism to Old Trafford. The former Sporting Lisbon boss has quickly implemented his attacking style of play and has already guided United to a number of impressive victories.

The win over City was undoubtedly the highlight of his tenure so far. The comeback victory not only boosted United's morale but also sent a clear message to their rivals.

A tale of two halves

The game was a rollercoaster of emotions. City dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead through Laporte's header. However, United came out fighting in the second half and were rewarded for their persistence with late goals from Fernandes and Diallo.

Amorim's impact

Since taking charge at Old Trafford, Amorim has brought a number of positive changes to the club. He has instilled a winning mentality in his players and has created a positive atmosphere around the club.

His declaration after the derby win is a clear indication of his ambition for the club. He wants to make United a dominant force in English football once again.

What next for United?

With Amorim at the helm, the future looks bright for Manchester United. The club is on the up and the fans are excited about the prospect of challenging for trophies once again.
