To secure the manager, the Red Devils will pay a release clause of 10 million euros, equivalent to R$61 million, to release him from his contract with Sporting, Rúben’s current club. The agreement was already in place between the English club and the Portuguese, but United did not want to jeopardize their good relationship with the Portuguese team.
Rúben Amorim’s name has become one of the most talked about in recent years after a standout start to his coaching career. At just 39 years old, the former midfielder for Benfica and the Portuguese national team retired in 2016 and decided to become a coach, beginning his journey as an assistant at Casa Pia. He then moved to the B team of Braga, where he was quickly called up to the first team. That same season, he was hired by Sporting.
At the Lisbon club, he made an immediate impact. He needed just two seasons to end a nearly two-decade title drought in the Portuguese Championship, a feat he repeated the following season.
His impressive performance caught the attention of English teams, and his name was mentioned among several giants in the land of the King. Initially linked to Liverpool, which ultimately opted for Arne Slot, and later as one of the top candidates to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
