'I missed training session under Ruben Amorim – he almost released me from the club' Ruben Amorim's intolerance for misbehaviour saw the Manchester United boss almost release a former player for tardiness - despite the pair having been friends since they were children.
However, their friendship wasn't enough from Amorim almost banishing Simao from the club after he'd missed a training session.
His treatment of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho - who were both dumped from the Manchester derby matchday squad last month for their attitudes to training - were telling indicators that he'll not stand for anything but giving 100% at all times.
His strict personality as a football coach stems back to his first foray into management back in 2018 when he took charge of Portuguese club Casa Pia.
During his time at the club, he had managed his childhood friend Bruno Simao who'd known Amorim since they were nine years of age.
