Ever since taking over as the manager of Sporting in 2020, Ruben Amorim has been establishing himself as a rising star in the football world. His impressive stint with the Portuguese club has caught the attention of many, including Sporting's former player Bruno Fernandes.
Fernandes, who now plays for Manchester United, believes that Amorim has what it takes to make the leap to a top job in the future. The 39-year-old has already led Sporting to two Primeira Liga titles, which has sparked rumors of a potential move to a bigger European league.
Despite being linked with a move to Liverpool, Amorim has stayed with Sporting for now. However, the team's current form cannot be ignored, with eight wins out of eight games in the Primeira Liga. Fernandes, who joined Manchester United from Sporting, is impressed by the club's progress under Amorim's leadership.
"Since Mr. Amorim arrived at Sporting, they have been playing some of the best football in the league," Fernandes said in an interview with CNN Portugal. "Their consistency and good signings have contributed to their success. It's clear that the team is well-prepared and Amorim's skills as a manager are on full display."
Fernandes also highlighted Amorim's ability to lead Sporting to two league titles after a 20-year drought. This, according to Fernandes, proves that Amorim is ready for the big stage. "If he can replicate the same success in England, Spain, or anywhere else, only time will tell. But I am confident that his qualities are evident to everyone," he added.
Amidst rumors of Amorim potentially becoming the next Manchester United manager, Fernandes is not the only one who rates him highly. Despite current manager Erik ten Hag being in charge, the team's poor performance has put his job in jeopardy. While there are other strong contenders like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thomas Tuchel, Amorim could also be a potential candidate if the United hierarchy decides to make a change.
