Manchester United are looking to finalise the signing of Ruben Amorim, the highly-rated Sporting CP manager.
The Red Devils are set to trigger the €10 million release clause in Amorim’s contract, making him the club’s next permanent manager. He would also be the club’s youngest manager in history.
Sporting CP confirmed on Tuesday evening that they have received formal communication from Manchester United regarding Amorim’s appointment.
The Portuguese club, while disappointed to lose their star manager, acknowledged the significant opportunity for Amorim to take on one of Europe’s biggest jobs.
Amorim’s appointment has been met with mixed reactions from fans and pundits alike. While many are excited about the potential of the young, dynamic manager, others have expressed concerns about the pressure and expectations associated with managing a club of Manchester United’s stature.
The 39-year-old Portuguese tactician has quickly risen to prominence in European football, earning praise for his tactical acumen, intense style of play, and ability to develop young talent.
His success with Sporting CP, including a league title in 2021, has made him one of the most sought-after managers in the world.
Manchester United are hoping that Amorim can revitalize the club and return them to the glory days of the past.
