JAKARTA - Manchester United has made an official offer to Sporting CP for coach Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils have agreed to pay a release clause of 10 million euros in search of Erik ten Hag's newly released activist on Monday, October 28, 2024.

Later, rumors emerged that Manchester United's rival, Manchester City, was also interested in securing Amorious services.

You see, when the 39-year-old coach first appeared as a candidate to replace Ten Hag, Amorism still denied.

He is suspected of waiting for the opportunity to coach The Citizens as Pep Guardiola said he wanted to leave Etihad at the end of this season.

Amoritam melihat dulu apakah Manchester City mengajukan proposal setelah dipastikan merekrut Direktur Olahraga Sporting, Hugo Viana, untuk mengganti Txiki Begiristain pada akhir musim ini di Etihad.

It's just that, even though The Citizens signed Sporting's Sports Director, they didn't plan to recruit Amorim either.

According to Manchester City's sources to ESPN, their preference is Pep Guardiola extending his contract after the end of this season.

In addition, Amorism is also not the main candidate to be the next manager despite vacancies this summer.

This means that Manchester United, which has taken a serious approach, has a clear opportunity for the Portuguese coach.

Ruben Amorim has long admired Manchester United after his successful tenure as Sporting manager.

The problem is, the style of play is not in accordance with the way Manchester City wants to play.

Guardiola's first team and the team of The Citizens academy usually play in the 4-3-3 system.

While the tactical formation that Amoram likes is the three-person defense in the 3-4-3 system.

This confirms that the Amorism is getting closer to Manchester United. The Red Devils shifted the target to a 39-year-old manager because Thomas Frank, who is also a candidate, has a release clause on his contract at Brentford almost double that of a fanfare.

Apart from that, Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed interim manager at Old Trafford following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag.

He will lead the Carabao Cup match against Leicester City on Thursday, October 31, 2024, early morning WIB.

However, it is unclear whether he will be asked to lead the team against Chelsea at Old Trafford this weekend.
