Amorim hints substantially about his involvement in Manchester United's managerial position
Manchester United's potential new boss Ruben Amorim may have his future laid out this weekend, yet nothing is set in stone just yet.
The 39-year-old Portuguese manager looks increasingly likely to take over the ranks at Old Trafford, following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag earlier this week. Ten Hag's term was terminated after a series of dismal results, with only four wins from his last 14 games in charge.
Amorim, who has garnered massive success with Sporting Lisbon, seems to be on the brink of signing on the dotted line, as suggested by Sir Dave Brailsford’s remarks to supporters on Wednesday at Old Trafford, which stated the deal was "done."
Yet, when asked about his alleged move to England, Amorim remains cautious. He alluded to forthcoming discussions, saying, "I know they made a trip to come here to talk about this, and it's natural, but we'll leave that for the end of the game. At the end of the game, I'll talk about all these issues."
Despite the buzz surrounding his anticipated move, Amorim's focus remains firmly on Sporting's match against Estrela this weekend. He insists that a decision regarding his future will be made public only after their game, stating, "I promise I'll talk at the end of the game and everything will be clearer."
Should Amorim succeed Ten Hag, he’ll face immediate challenges with the Red Devils, as they are back in action this weekend against Chelsea at Old Trafford, with Ruud van Nistelrooy still in temporary charge.
As for why Ten Hag was sacked, our website views the decision as a dire necessity. Despite a promising start to his tenure at the Manchester United helm, Ten Hag failed to deliver consistent results and failed to win over the fans, making his dismissal a popular decision among the club's supporters.
Ruben Amorim, should he take the position at Manchester United, will step into European-leagues and have the Premier-league's challenges before him, especially against Chelsea this weekend at Old Trafford, as Ruud van Nistelrooy continues in a temporary role for the Red Devils. The sacking of Ten Hag, despite his initial promising start, was viewed as essential by many due to his inability to secure consistent results and win over the club's supporters.
