Manchester United are all set to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new head coach, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Ten Hag and interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will be replaced in the Man Utd dugout by the Portuguese strategist. After overseeing over Red Devils’ worst-ever Premier League season debut, Ten Hag was fired on Monday. It has been revealed that the club’s executives were already negotiating an appointment arrangement with Amorim and Sporting CP.
Amorim, who had been eager to join the Premier League for a while, verbally agreed to the transfer right away. Despite having a €20 million release clause, Amorim may leave Sporting for just €10 million. This is reportedly what Manchester United will now pay the Portuguese champions.
Fabrizio Romano claims that Manchester United has notified Sporting that they will proceed with the move. Sporting has then formally communicated this information to the Securities Market Commission and the media. This implies that the agreement is practically finalized. According to Portuguese media, Amorim will sign a three-year contract at Old Trafford. Manchester United is keen to have him out of the lineup for this weekend’s match against Chelsea.
Amorim One of the most highly regarded young managers in European football has joined Manchester United. The 39-year-old, who broke Sporting’s more than ten-year league title drought, is a two-time Portuguese champion. During his four years at Lisbon, Amorim has developed some top players, and some may accompany him to Old Trafford.
Amorim’s ambition of coaching in the Premier League had to be put on hold after he had to travel to London and negotiate with West Ham and Liverpool earlier this year. Now that Amorim is taking charge at Old Trafford, that dream is finally going to come true. He might be the one to help Manchester United break out of their slump following Sir Alex Ferguson.
