Amazed To Manchester United Still Hanging, Even Though Bruno Fernandes Is Waiting

Bruno Fernandes is waiting for Ruben Amoram's arrival to Manchester United (Instagram/@brunofernandes8).

JAKARTA - Manchester United are already openly interested in the Sporting CP Manager, Ruben Amorim, to replace Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils who are being chased have also officially approved the payment of a release clause worth 10 million euros. They want Amorim to officially go to Old Trafford before fighting Chelsea this weekend.

Tit for tat. Sporting also with open arms is ready to release the 39-year-old coach. In fact, they have officially reported to CMVM (Party football financial regulator) as the first step in the transfer.

The problem now is that Amorism is running the other way around. He insists he hasn't decided whether to move to Old Trafford or not.

Amory looks uncomfortable when asked about the move to Manchester United after bringing Sporting to a 3-1 win over Nacional in Taca da Liga on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, early morning WIB.

"Is there a club statement or is that the only thing that exists today? Any interest from Manchester United."

"However, it should be my choice. Until everything is decided, we will not make a fuss."

"I have nothing to say. I will do whatever I want to do, as I always do."

"There is a club that is interested and has contacted the club and is willing to pay the release clause."

"I can't control it. We'll see what happens in the next few days. My focus is on preparing for Friday's match, November 1, 2024, against Estreia Armadora."

"No one knows if it's a farewell game, whether there will be a farewell game, it's something that hasn't been decided yet."

"So, let's analyze the game. After I make the decision, I will go out and explain my decision. However, everything must be explained."

"As the club statement said, it will be my decision. However, saying half-heartedly now doesn't seem to be the best thing," said Amorim.

Ruben Amorim became the top candidate to replace Erik ten Hag who was expelled on Monday, October 28, 2024.

Priced, Manchester United is also more suitable than Thomas Frank, who has a double release clause from Brentford.

In addition, the Red Devils approach to Amoram has the support of players, especially captain Bruno Fernandes.

The 30-year-old midfielder knows the good quality. Indeed, Fernandes did not have time to be trained because he had left for Old Trafford from Sporting.

However, Fernandes, who is both Portuguese and has played for Sporting for a long time, understands very well the ability of Amorism.

Moreover, Fernandes continues to monitor the journey of his former club under the care of Amorim.

"Since Amorism arrived in Sporting, they have been one of the teams playing football better and most consistently."

"I think the recruitment is right. They are in a very good moment."

"They won last year and this season started leading the standings. This is a very ready team," said Fernandes.

Since handling Sportin in March 2020, Amorim has presented two Premier League titles (2020/2021 and 2023/2024), Taca da Liga (2020/2021 and 2021/2022), and Supertica Candidode Oliveira (2021).

He brought Sporting back to glory after 20 years of never winning a league trophy.

"Regarding Amorism, I have talked about it several times. I say that at this time he is very ready because it is not easy to win titles in Sporting."

"Sporting hasn't won a league trophy for 20 years. Amorism comes and wins two league trophies, it proves that his hard work is good."

"Now, will he be able to do the same in England or Spain or elsewhere?"

"We'll never know until he gets there. However, I'm sure that everyone believes in the quality of ambition," said the Manchester United captain.

Apart from that, Bruno Fernandes expressed his farewell to Erik ten Hag via uploads on his personal Instagram.

He asked everyone to remember the good things the Dutch manager had done and appreciate his hard work.

"Thank you for everything, boss! I appreciate the trust and moments we have been through together. I wish you all the best in the future."

"While knowing that the last period didn't go well for all of us, I hope you fans can continue to remember the good things the manager has done for our club!" Bruno Fernandes wrote.
