'I think my opinion is more important than Roy Keane's. I know as a captain he does things sometimes with his arms, criticising his team-mates, but most of all it's a bit of frustration.' - Ruben Amorim hits back in Bruno Fernandes row

Ruben Amorim has publicly defended Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United captain, against harsh criticism from Roy Keane on the 'Stick to Football' podcast. Keane condemned Fernandes and his teammates, calling them 'imposters' and contrasting Fernandes’ leadership negatively with that of legends like Tony Adams. Amorim disagreed with Keane, asserting that Fernandes plays a crucial role at the club and displays a strong desire to win, albeit with some visible frustration. Amorim further stated that as the coach, his opinion holds more weight than Keane's.

Bruno is really important for us in the club, especially for me. He's playing well in a difficult context and he always wants the responsibility.

I think my opinion is more important than Roy Keane's because I am the coach.
