Ruben Amorim watched ’99’ documentary before thrilling Manchester United comeback
The manager said the goal celebrations were the best he had ever heard
Ruben Amorim psyched himself up for Manchester United’s extraordinary 5-4 Europa League win over Lyon by rewatching a documentary about the Red Devil’s historic treble-winning season of 1998/99.
Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire scored last-minute goals deep into extra-time to ensure United turned their quarter-final tie with Lyon on its head and prevailed 7-6 on aggregate after a barnstorming second leg at Old Trafford.
“I was watching, again the ‘99’ documentary, to have some inspiration for these moments. It was a great night,” Amorim told TNT Sports.
