Manchester United Hires Rúben Amorim as Manager

Ruben Amorim is set to become the new head coach of Manchester United after the club reached an agreement with Sporting CP, reportedly paying a release clause of €10 million. Amorim will not take over until the international break in November, allowing him to finish his commitments with Sporting, including a crucial Champions League match against Manchester City. Despite his impressive record in Portugal, Amorim faces challenges at United, including a tight transfer budget constrained by Profitability and Sustainability Rules. He has agreed to a lucrative three-and-a-half-year contract worth approximately €7.8 million annually. During the interim, Ruud van Nistelrooy will manage the team for upcoming fixtures against Chelsea and Leicester. United's management is optimistic that Amorim will bring success, given his strong reputation and previous achievements in Portugal.
