Manchester United has taken a significant step towards revitalizing their fortunes by appointing Rúben Amorim as their new manager. The Portuguese tactician will join the Red Devils after the club agreed to pay a €10m exit clause to his current employer, Sporting.
According to reports from reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Amorim has already accepted the proposal after positive discussions over the project. This development comes hot on the heels of Eric ten Hag's departure from the managerial role.
Amorim's appointment marks a new chapter for Manchester United, who have struggled to find consistency in recent seasons. The 38-year-old manager boasts an impressive track record, leading Sporting to consecutive Primeira Liga titles and capturing the 2021 Taça da Liga.
Meanwhile, controversy surrounds the Ballon d'Or ceremony, with sources close to Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr. suggesting that the Brazilian forward lost out on the award due to his vocal stance against systemic racism. Reuters reports that insiders believe Vinicius Jr.'s advocacy played a role in the voting process.
In other Manchester United news, the club has opened the door for loan offers for winger Antony. Journalist Raisa Simplicio reveals that several Premier League teams are already in talks with the Red Devils, with a preference for the Brazilian to remain in Europe.
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra offered a candid assessment of Arsenal's trophy prospects, likening the Gunners to a Netflix series. "You always wait for the next season, and trust me, every season will be like that. They're always fighting for trophies," Evra quipped.
As Manchester United embarks on this new era under Amorim, fans will be eager to see if the Portuguese manager can restore the club's glory days.
