Ruben Amorim will become the new coach of Manchester United in just one week and replaces Ruud Van Nistelrooy, on an interim basis following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag on October 28. A surprise because his team is the reigning Portuguese champion and at the top of its championship. In the mixed zone, he made a rather daring comparison on the eve of the match against Manchester City. “What conclusions they draw from this match are not important to me. If the result is negative, expectations will drop. If we win, they will think the new Alex Ferguson has arrived. What interests me is to win, to say goodbye to Alvalade, to win in Braga and to start a new adventure in Manchester. What I want is to make the supporters and my players happy.”
Amorim focused 100% with Sporting
Expectations around the new Mancunian coach are high: will he manage to bring Man United back to the roof of England and Europe. Management let him know that they would give him time to impose his style of play but also freedom in the management of players at the end of the contract. His appointment caused a lot of noise but the Portuguese is still under contract with Sporting and he makes it known.
