Ruben Amorim, a name that has been making waves in the football world, is reportedly in advanced negotiations to take over as the new manager of Manchester United. At just 39 years old, Amorim has quickly established himself as one of the most promising young coaches in European football, earning praise from fans, pundits, and former teammates alike.
Since taking charge of Sporting in 2020, Amorim has been on an extraordinary and meteoric rise, with the world at his feet. And now, the Portuguese manager finds himself within reaching distance of the coveted Manchester United job. Sporting has confirmed that United has expressed their intention to pay Amorim's €10 million release clause in full in order to secure his services at Old Trafford.
In the meantime, Ruud van Nistelrooy will temporarily take over as interim manager, replacing Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils have a big game against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals tomorrow night. While Amorim has remained tight-lipped amidst the intense speculation, it seems like everyone and their dog have voiced their opinions on his potential switch, including club legends Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, and Dwight Yorke.
Even iconic former United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who shared a close bond with Amorim during their time together in the Portuguese national team, is known to be an admirer of the manager. According to Portuguese football expert Marcus Alves, Ronaldo even has an affectionate nickname for Amorim, which could explain why United is so charmed by him.
Amorim and Ronaldo have a history of sharing a dressing room with the Portuguese national side, and Alves believes that Amorim possesses all the necessary tools to lead United out of their current malaise. He is confident that Amorim's eloquence, outgoing personality, and ability to dominate words will make a huge impact on the team.
Amorim's approach to management is also highly praised, as he does not tolerate lack of professionalism. He has proven this by successfully pacifying a team that was once at war with itself. Alves believes that Amorim can do this again if given the chance at United.
However, amidst all the rumors and speculations, Amorim remains focused on his current position at Sporting. In a recent media appearance, he refused to comment on his future and reiterated his pride in being the coach of Sporting. As for United, they continue to search for their next manager, and only time will tell if Amorim will be the one to take over the reins at Old Trafford.
