Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made a bold decision to shield himself and his family from online abuse by avoiding social media and TV coverage of the club. Despite the potential financial losses from sponsorship deals, the 40-year-old coach believes it's essential for his well-being and the protection of his loved ones. In his first year at Old Trafford, Amorim has faced a challenging rollercoaster ride, with the team finishing 15th in the Premier League last season - their worst top-flight campaign since 1973/74. However, recent results have improved, and they now sit in seventh place ahead of Thursday's match against West Ham. Amorim's decision to stay off social media is a personal one, and he emphasizes that he's not trying to avoid criticism. 'I don't read it. I protect myself,' he said in a pre-match press conference. 'I don't watch TV when they talk about Manchester United. Not because I don't agree, most of the time I do. But it is a way of me being healthy.' The Portuguese coach believes that the pressure and stress of social media can be overwhelming, and he's willing to sacrifice potential sponsorship deals to maintain a healthy work-life balance. 'The quality of my life and protection of my family, the way I can live a normal life is not worth it. Some more dollars or pounds is not worth it,' he stated. In other news, Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha is set to return from injury on Thursday, which could be a timely boost ahead of the hectic festive fixture schedule. Amorim praised Cunha's growth and influence in the team, but also acknowledged that he has areas to improve defensively and offensively. The team still faces challenges with Harry Maguire and Benjamin Sesko sidelined by injury.
