In a major managerial shift, Sir Dave Brailsford, Head of Sport for the INEOS group, has confirmed Ruben Amorim’s move to Manchester United, signaling a new era for the club. Following United’s impressive 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the EFL Cup, Brailsford shared the news with a group of Manchester United fans, declaring, “Yeah, it’s done!”
The anticipated announcement could be made as soon as Thursday, October 31, bringing the Sporting Lisbon manager to Old Trafford. Sporting Lisbon has already approved Amorim’s exit, with Manchester United agreeing to meet the £8.3 million release clause in his contract.
Earlier reports suggested that Manchester United reached a complete agreement with Sporting Lisbon, not only for Amorim but also for two of his assistant coaches, who are expected to join him at Old Trafford. This move represents a strategic effort by the club to rejuvenate its management and tackle the challenges of the season ahead.
