It was such a great day for the Amorim family. Ruben just signed a contract with one of the most popular clubs in the world Manchester United and maybe even the sun shone on the Old Trafford on that November 11th 2024. His wife Maria was also proud for her husband and his achievement. But four months later, she is struggling as much as her husband. Ruben is getting more gray hairs by the day as his players cannot incorporate his tactics, the team is in 14th place with no chance to get out of it quickly, while the ‘honeymoon‘ with media is also over, as various journalists and TV pundits (some of whom are former United players) are more and more critical of him. His wife Maria, has two problems: she has to see her husband suffering while at the same time she is also suffering as she changed Sporting with Manchester.After finally overcoming football issues, City are facing marital ones?!As per Sun, Amorim‘s wife is struggling to cope with the every day life in England, which is totally opposite to sunny Portugal. The constant rain, wind and dark nights in the Northeast of England are getting the best of her at the moment. Maria is business woman (just as Pep Guardiola‘s ex wife) who deals with interior designer but she decided to support her husband and came to England with their two children. And currently, she is regretting her choice. Looking at the recent examples, people from South of Europe or South America have problems settling in England due to weather and Amorim‘s wife is no exception.Di Maria’s wife: ‘I wanted to kill myself in Manchester’Pep Guardiola is currently divorcing from his wife Cristina Serra after 30 years of marriage and one of the reasons, according to the reports, was his decision to extend his contract with Manchester Ciry. Serra is living in Barcelona and obviously doesn’t like the city either but was hoping that her husband might finish out his contract and come back. Famous Argentinian footballer Angel Di Maria also played for the Red Devils but left he club after only one season, and his wife was thrilled.“Angel came to me one day and said: “Look at this proposal from Manchester United”. I didn’t want to go, I told him to go alone. “Let’s go both of us”, he replied. It was a lot of money, more than the Spaniards had offered. So, we went. If you work in a company and someone offers you double the salary, you go running. We were friends with Gianinna Maradona, (former Manchester City striker) Sergio Aguero’s wife, and we travelled to Manchester on vacation for a year. It was always horrible! We came home and I said: “If you’re ever transferred, make sure it’s anywhere in the world but England. I didn’t like it at all… I can tell you. People are all weird. You walk around and you don’t know if they’re going to kill you. The food is disgusting. The women look like porcelain. Angel and I were in Madrid, at the best team in the world, perfect food, perfect weather, everything was perfect. And then came United’s proposal….I told him “no way, no way”, but he kept saying we will be a little more financially secure and we have to go. We fought about it… We try to be closer when things go wrong. I don’t blame him for going there. It was horrible, so horrible. I just told him, “Darling, I want to kill myself, it’s nighttime at two o’clock”‘ explained Jorgelina Cardoso to the Argentinean TV channel LAM in 2022.
