Barring any last-minute issues, the United appearance will be Amorim’s fifth managerial role, having previously worked at Casa Pia and Braga’s first and second teams.

Amorim will take over the Red Devils side who sit 14th in the Premier League and are in desperate need of a spark to kick-start their season.

It seems Ronaldos Amorim’s one-word summary indicates that the 39-year-old will be able to do just that.

“The Manchester United The job may seem impossible at the moment, but so did Sporting’s when Amorim was introduced as head coach on March 5, 2020,” the Portuguese football reporter said. Marcus Alves explainsD.

“Amorim is eloquent and outgoing, irresistible and dominates the words in such a way that Christiano Ronaldo used to call him ‘closer’ in the national team.

“Above all, the 39-year-old will not tolerate a lack of professionalism. This is a man who has calmed a team that once seemed to be at war with itself. He can certainly do that twice if he is allowed to.”

Amorim and Ronaldo played eight matches together for Portugal, including a group match at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.

However, Amorim has proven that he is as adept in the dugout as he is on the pitch as a midfielder, having led Sporting to two Primeira Liga titles and a Portuguese Super Cup in four years.

Captain of the Red Devils Bruno Fernandeswho joined United from Sporting in January 2020, praised how Amorim turned the club around and guided them to their first league title in almost two decades.

“Since Mr. Amorim joined Sporting, it was one of the teams that played the best football,” he says. Fernandes told CNN Portugal earlier in October.

“They have been consistent, the signings have been good and they are at a very good time. They are a very well prepared team.

“As for Amorim, he shows that he is prepared for this moment. Coaching Sporting and winning championships is not easy. Sporting went twenty years without winning championships and Amorim arrived and has already won two. This shows that the job is done well.” .

“Whether he can do the same in England, Spain or wherever, you’ll never know until you get there, but I’m sure his qualities are there for all to see.”

Amorim is on the verge of taking over at Old Trafford after the Red Devils fired Erik ten Hag on Monday.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed interim boss and will take charge in the club’s Carabao Cup tie against Leicester City on Wednesday.
