Ruben Amorim, the new coach of Manchester United, has just arrived at the club's training ground, Carrington. The former Sporting Lisbon coach is ready to hit the ground running, eager to make his mark on the Premier League. But he's not alone in this journey, as former Red Devils striker Louis Saha has suggested that Amorim should bring in some familiar faces to his coaching staff, namely United legend Roy Keane.
Amorim wasted no time in making his first major decision, as he let go of interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, despite his successful stint at the club. The 39-year-old is also looking to bring in his backroom staff from Sporting, including Carlos Fernandes, Adélio Candido, Paulo Barreira, Emanuel Ferro, and Jorge Vital. These experienced coaches are expected to join Amorim in the coming days, adding to the excitement and anticipation of his arrival at United.
However, not everyone is convinced that Amorim has assembled the best team to aid in his overhaul at United. Rio Ferdinand, another former United player, believes that keeping Van Nistelrooy would have been a smart move, given his successful audition in the past few weeks. But Saha disagrees and thinks that Amorim should instead consider bringing in Roy Keane, a player who had a huge impact during his time at the club.
Saha believes that Keane's understanding of the game, especially in midfield, and his competitive nature would be a valuable addition to Amorim's coaching staff. "He was a character that imposed himself during his time as a player and was part of the reason that the club was so successful in that period," Saha said in an interview with BoyleSports. "He is very tough as a pundit and with the players in the modern game he might not be able to speak in the same way because there are big egos that might not understand his messages. With certain players, it just wouldn't work. But I think that he would be able to adapt, that's what good players and coaches do."
However, Keane himself has poured cold water on the possibility of a return to his former club. In a recent interview on "The Overlap," he dismissed any speculation of a comeback, saying, "They're not gonna be asking me. They just wouldn't." But as the saying goes, never say never. Who knows, maybe Keane will surprise us all and join Amorim's coaching staff after all.
As Amorim continues to settle in and make his mark at United, fans eagerly await the confirmation of his coaching staff and the start of the new season. With the addition of experienced coaches and perhaps even a familiar face like Roy Keane, United's future looks promising under the guidance of their new coach.
