Ruben Amorim has said that he does not like the chant sung for him by Manchester United fans.
The new Man United manager quickly won over fans after joining the club from Sporting CP last month.
The Red Devils, who face Arsenal on Wednesday night, have won their last two matches under the Portuguese coach, against Bodo/Glimt and Everton respectively.
Man United fans have coined a chat for their new coach to the tune of the 1980s song 'Baby Give It Up' by KC and The Sunshine Band.
Amorim, however, says he does not like the chant and would prefer if supporters sang about the players instead.
"I don’t like my chant. I don’t like it," Amorim said at his press conference before the trip to play Arsenal.
"I feel a little bit, not embarrassed, but because I’m the coach...
"They have to chant for the players and for the club, so it’s not a good thing for me.
"I understand and I really appreciate the connection with the supporters, but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch.
"I’m more outside the pitch. I’m really honoured about that and I feel a connection with the supporters, but we know that we need results to maintain that."
Man United play Arsenal at the Emirates in the Premier League on Wednesday night before facing Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
