Ruben Amorim is Manchester United’s seventh manager since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013. Given his success at Sporting CP, helping secure two Portuguese league titles, it’s hoped he can bring the same winning ways back to United who currently sit 12th in the Premier League table.
Last week he officially joined the squad and quickly got familiar with his players, while also making some time to meet fans on a stadium tour. The biggest takeaway from observing Amorim throughout his onboarding process was arguably his wristwear choice: he wore a lowkey but grail worthy Swiss made replica Rolex Datejust 41 watches.
Fast forward to his debut against Ipswich Town yesterday, on the pitch it was the same United fans have gotten used to watching. Operating under Amorim’s default 3-4-2-1 formation, a Marcus Rashford goal in just 81 seconds got hopes soaring, but an Ipswich equaliser courtesy of Omari Hutchinson in the 43rd minute showed the work that needed to be done to get United back to challenging at the top of the table.
The club’s former manager, Erik ten Hag, came under fire for his managerial approach, which his critics felt left the club without a notable playing style. Incidentally, Ten Hag wore a Breitling Colt Quartz model, a sports watch designed to handle tough conditions, which was probably appropriate when you’re dealing with an army of disappointed Man U fans each week, desperate to regain a touch of the club’s former glory.
Amorim, on the other hand is known for his methodical and tactical style of play with an emphasis on possession and an attacking approach to the game. So wearing an Oystersteel perfect UK fake Rolex Datejust 41 watches, makes a fair bit of sense.
The AAA online Rolex Datejust replica watches was released in 1945, and was the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch with the date on the display. When you consider its date and time features, while still looking polished, clean, and instantly recognisable, it feels like a good match for Amorim’s approach to the game.
But on match days, like yesterday, it’s unlikely you’ll him wearing his cheap 2024 copy Rolex Datejust watches, or any kind of watch for that matter (not even the digital watch he might throw on for training). Why? We can’t say for sure, but there’s a few possible reasons. In a high pressure situation like a big stakes game, having an albeit sexy but constant reminder of the dwindling minutes and seconds might not be what you want. Plus when Amorim celebrates a victory, he’s on the pitch with his players. Maybe he doesn’t fancy getting his Rollie involved in any boisterous on-pitch antics.
Another reason could be down to a rare touchline appearance with his luxury replica Rolex watches during the 2023 Europa Cup. In the quarter finals Sporting CP were knocked out by Juventus, losing the first leg, and drawing the second. For the match, he subbed out his usual casual attire for a suit and white tee, Swiss movements Rolex super clone watches on the wrist. Perhaps he’s been so spooked by that defeat, and by association, the no watch on match day rule has been enforced, wary of not wanting to jinx his team again? Who knows!
One thing is for sure: Ruben Amorim has big shoes to fill at Manchester United. But from a watch-wearing point of view, with a certi 1:1 China Rolex fake watches rooted in the Swiss brand’s history in his locker, even if it’s not on his wrist 24/7, he’s still kicking off on good horological footing.
