Revealed: Ruben Amorim’s Buyout Clause From Sporting After Agreement Reached

Manchester United is reportedly nearing the appointment of Ruben Amorim as their new manager after the dismissal of Erik ten Hag. The 39-year-old Portuguese coach has made a strong impression at Sporting Lisbon, guiding the team to a perfect record in the Portuguese league this season.

Amorim’s success at Sporting has attracted the attention of Manchester United, especially due to his unbeaten record in the Champions League, which includes two wins and a draw. His style of play and ability to achieve positive results make him a strong candidate to replace Ten Hag.

Manchester United would need to pay Amorim’s release clause, estimated at €10 million (£8.3 million), to secure his services. The club’s management believes that Amorim’s style of football, which has brought him success in Portugal, would be a great fit for Manchester United.

Amorim has been previously linked to Man City for 2025 to succeed Pep Guardiola, but it appears that Manchester United is now his most likely destination. Ruud van Nistelrooy has taken over as interim manager, while the club is eager to find a permanent replacement.

Manchester United has already approached Sporting to discuss the possibility of appointing Amorim, but the deal is not without its hurdles. United would need to pay Amorim’s release clause, which they are reportedly prepared to do.
