What was reported last night by the Athletic’s transfer guru David Orstein was confirmed less than 24 hours after – Ruben Amorim will be the new Manchester United‘s coach. Sporting informed the Securities Market Commission (CMVM) on Tuesday afternoon that Manchester United is proposing to pay the termination clause that protects Rúben Amorim against a restricted group of European clubs, in this case for the amount of 10 million euros. So, the only thing left are the personal details, which certainly won‘t be a problem. There were numerous other names flying around, from Brendford‘s Thomas Frenk, former England manager Gareth Southgate and Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann to even Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer, but the quickness with whom United paid the release clause was the proof that they were going straight at Amorim as soon as they sacked Erik ten Hag.🚨 MAJOR BREAKING!Ruben Amorim officially leaves Sporting and set to join Man Utd immediately!! 😍😍🇵🇹 pic.twitter.com/BxCJL3B2la— UF (@UtdFaithfuls) October 29, 2024 As reported by the prestigious newspaper A Bola, Manchester United has already sent three emissaries with the intention of finalizing details of a collaboration with Amorim as early as tonight after Sporting’s League Cup match against Nacional. Reports from England are almost the same, stating that the club has given the currently unnamed trio the green light to conclude negotiations with Amorim, to secure approval at all costs, and then prepare the documentation for his transfer to Manchester. This shouldn’t pose an overly big problem, as the Portuguese coach has reportedly already expressed a desire to move to Old Trafford in initial contacts and is ready to take over the team immediately.United find Ten Hag’s successor in the Lions’ prideThe British Times writes that Ten Hag’s former assistant, the former United star Ruud van Nistelrooy, will have a fixed term on the bench lasting only one match. The former striker will lead Manchester United only in the League Cup match against Leicester on Wednesday, as it is expected—if it doesn’t happen before that match—that Amorim will sign a contract and be ready to manage the club as early as the weekend against Chelsea, in a derby between two fallen giants.##NAJAVA_MECA_8456941##
