🚨AMORIM IS GOING FOR IT🚨Talk about a blast from the past. He’s played at Old Trafford before and is a very recognisable name… 👀✍️ Ruben Amorim ‘wants to make a former Premier League star’ his first Manchester United signing in January
Ruben Amorim is set to take over as Manchester United’s manager following the upcoming international break, stepping in to replace Erik ten Hag. He will finish his final matches with Sporting CP before officially assuming his role at United, where his first game will be against Ipswich Town on November 24.
As reported by El Nacional, Amorim is already focused on strengthening United’s defense. His top target for the January transfer window is Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen, formerly with Chelsea. Amorim believes Christensen’s experience and stability will be vital in solidifying United’s defense. Although Christensen joined Barcelona in 2022, he has faced challenges with injuries and limited playing time, which could increase the likelihood of a transfer to Old Trafford.
Amorim still has two games left with Sporting, including a high-profile Champions League clash against Manchester City. When asked about the significance of beating Pep Guardiola’s team, Amorim played down the idea of being seen as a hero by United fans. “My focus is on winning for Sporting,” he said, urging caution about any assumptions tied to his future role at United based on this match’s result.
Amorim also mentioned that facing Manchester City will be a valuable learning experience. He’s eager to observe Guardiola’s tactics firsthand, noting, “It’s one thing to watch on TV, another to see it live,” and is looking forward to gaining insights that could benefit him in his upcoming Premier League journey with Un
ited.
