“As a new Man United manager, I have ordered the Club to bring him back in January by all means…We can’t afford to lose such talented player over a minor issues”: Incoming Man United’s coach has pardon ONE Man United’s player who was punished over a minor issue. WOW 😳
Manchester United is reportedly set to bring in Ruben Amorim as their new manager, a major decision following Erik ten Hag’s recent departure. This will mark the first managerial appointment under the new ownership by INEOS, a group that has already been under scrutiny regarding its approach to club management.
Ten Hag’s exit followed a lackluster start to the season, with United struggling in the lower half of the Premier League table. This disappointing performance led to frustration among fans and analysts, especially after last season’s eighth-place finish—their worst league standing since 1990. As a result, there was pressure on the new owners to make prompt and impactful changes.
Amorim, aged 39, presents a bold choice for United. He achieved notable success with Sporting Lisbon, leading them to a league title with an impressive 85 points and only one loss that season. However, his experience is limited to Portugal’s Primeira Liga, raising questions about his readiness for the competitive demands of the Premier League. Some may argue that managing in Portugal does not fully prepare a coach for the expectations and intensity at Manchester United.
Despite this, Amorim’s achievements at Sporting have undoubtedly caught the eye of United’s leadership. His success in ending a nearly two-decade title drought for Sporting highlights his capacity to inspire and implement winning strategies. This trajectory draws parallels to Sir Alex Ferguson, who arrived from Aberdeen and, after a few years of rebuilding, brought United their first league title in 26 years during the Premier League’s 1992/93 season.
Should Amorim be able to emulate even a portion of Ferguson’s success, he could bring renewed energy and performance to Old Trafford. His appointment reflects the new ownership’s willingness to take strategic risks in the hope of restoring United’s prominence. There is optimism that his fresh approach and proven results can signal a new era for the club, potentially transforming fan frustration into hopeful antici
pation.
