According to reports, Ruben Amorim was ‘affected by the whole process’ which led to him replacing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

Amorim was named Man Utdon Friday after the Premier League giants sacked former boss Ten Hag on Monday morning.

39 years old Amorim has been on the radar of several elite European clubs for a few years as he has done a great job at Sporting Lisbon.

Since his arrival in 2020, Amorim has helped Sporting Lisbon win two Primeira Liga titles and won their first ten league matches this season. The Portuguese team had gone 18 years without winning the title.

Liverpool and West Ham have been mooted as possible destinations for Amorim this summer, but they have looked elsewhere. This allowed Man Utd to appoint him and he will take charge at Old Trafford at the start of this month’s international break on November 11.

A report of Athletics “inside the Amorim agreement” revealed two INEOS concerns about inexperienced head coach and they also stated how he had been “affected by the whole process”.

The report claims Amorim “confided in friends” to inform them that his “grilling” after Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Nacional in the Taca Da Liga “exhausted him”.

“Late Tuesday, after being interviewed by journalists after the 3-1 victory against Nacional, he told friends that the experience had exhausted him.

“Colleagues who have known Amorim for years observed that he did not look as relaxed as usual during the press conference. This was understandable.

The report also claims Amorim looked “awkward and shy” in a “strange moment” on Tuesday night, but he is “a more natural fit” for Man Utd than Ten Hag for a reason.

“Just before the match, Sporting fans, as is tradition, raised their scarves and sang the club anthem. But Amorim kept his head down, looking at the ground, his hands in his pockets, the air somewhat shy and awkward. It was a strange moment. He didn’t celebrate any goals, but crouched on his haunches, continued to give instructions to his players and occasionally clapped and clapped. pointed.

“A group of fans tried to start a chant about Amorim but others booed them. Some supporters are very grateful for everything he has done. Others are unhappy – not about the move to United, but timing. They think he should have finished the season.

“United could not accept this, and they are happy that the agreement was reached quickly and quietly. Amorim transformed Sporting and we hope he can do the same for United. He will not turn 40 until January and some believe he is ready to build the club for a long time and develop young players.

“His charisma is seen as a more natural fit for dealing with the media at United than Ten Hag, and while this comes with his strong views, the managers would welcome the inevitable debates that will arise.”
