Recall that yesterday being Friday the 1st day of November, 2024 Manchester United officially announced on their official social media handles that they have appointed Portuguese tactician, Ruben Amorim as their new head coach.
The Red Devil's recently fired Dutch tactician, Erik Ten Hag after a poor run of form and they wasted no time in finding his replacement. Speaking after he was officially confirmed as the new head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim revealed that Sporting CP started the season very well and then Manchester United came and paid above his release clause.
Amorim revealed that he asked if he could stay at Sporting CP until the end of the season before moving to Manchester United but he was told that it is now or never and that if he doesn't join the Red Devil's now, the club will go for another alternative so he had no choice.
"In his Words"
"We know that we started very well and then this situation with Manchester United came. Manchester United appeared and paid above the clause, the cancellation and the compensation clause and the President defended the club's interest. I never discussed anything with the President about this bargaining. The only question I made was only to go in the end of the season, for three days I said i wanted to stay untill the end of the season but I was told it was not possible, it was now or never or Manchester United will go for another option so I had three days to make a decision".
