Sporting CP fans bid farewell to Man Utd target Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim will soon travel to England to sign a contract with Manchester United. His club, Sporting CP, confirmed that the Red Devils will pay his termination clause of 10 million euros. As the Portuguese are listed on the stock market, they are obliged to notify this. Hence, for Tuesday night's match against Nacional in the League Cup, the fans were aware that their leader was leaving.
On his exit onto the pitch before kick-off, he heard a flourish of applause in the form of a standing ovation. There were also a few timid whistles, but they did not overshadow the general feeling of gratitude for a coach who led his team to its first league title in 19 years and a national domination that has enlivened the championship in the face of so much shared glory between Benfica and Porto. Portuguese football, in fact, continues to threaten the French for its position as one of Europe's top five domestic competitions.
That his departure will enrich the coffers of Portuguese side is due to the fact that he still has this season and next season left on his contract, which runs until June 30th, 2026. It was the same period that his Dutch counterpart had agreed at Old Trafford, but the poor dynamics of the team both last season and so far this season ended up cutting confidence in his skills, renewed this summer.
As soon as Ruben Amorim's contract at Manchester United is formalised, his first experience outside his native country, where he has worked at Casa Pia and Sporting Braga, as well as at his current destination, will kick off. His track record includes three League Cups, one Super Cup and two Leagues.
