Amorim asks McIlroy to bring Masters magic to Man Utd

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has invited Masters champion Rory McIlroy to Old Trafford to help inspire the struggling Red Devils.

United fan McIlroy completed golf's career Grand Slam at Augusta National in dramatic fashion on Sunday with his first major win in 11 years.

The Northern Irishman said he would take his green jacket to Old Trafford "if it can inspire some better play" from United, who sit 14th in the Premier League after a miserable season.

"Congratulations for the Masters and I want to invite you to Old Trafford to show your trophy," Amorim said in a message on United's social media accounts.

"It's really important for us in this moment. You achieved something that a lot of people thought would be impossible and we want that feeling in our stadium.

"So I hope to see you soon at Old Trafford and to meet you."

McIlroy previously paraded the Claret Jug at Old Trafford after winning the British Open in 2014.
