In a few days, Ruben Amorim will be the new manager of Manchester United. The Portuguese will find himself in front of a huge sports site. To succeed in your mission, what could be better than drawing on your future ex-club.
A brilliant technician, one of the best of his generation, Ruben Amorim is preparing to climb Everest. The Sporting Portugal coach will take charge of Manchester United in the coming days. A complicated task given the poor performances of the Red Devils this season. Manchester United are currently 13th in the Premier League, having won only 3 out of 10 matches in the league. Offensively and defensively, the Mancunian club is not very dashing. Ruben Amorim will have to be very inspired, especially since several great coaches have broken their teeth in Manchester in the post-Ferguson era: Louis Van Gaal, José Mourinho, Ralf Rangnick and recently Erik Ten Hag.
Carve up Sporting for Man United
There is only one reason for hope for Amorim: the intact financial power of Manchester United. The Mancunian club can still line up tickets in the transfer window and its new Portuguese coach intends to take advantage of it quickly. According to information from Sacha Tavolieri for Sky Sports, Amorim has already listed three recruits for the Red Devils' winter transfer window. Amorim was not very imaginative since they were three executives from Sporting CP, his future ex-club.
The first two mentioned are leaders of the Portuguese defense: Gonçalo Inacio and Ousmane Diomandé. These two central defenders have a cost since Sporting has set a release clause for them: 60 million euros for Inacio and 80 million euros for Diomandé. To accompany them, Amorim covets the Lions' goal machine: Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker has a release clause set at 100 million euros. To bring these three players, Manchester United will have to pay 240 million euros. A heavy investment but given how Sporting blew up Manchester City in C1 on Tuesday evening, the game is worth it for Manchester United.
