Ruben Amorim officially announced the Manchester United head coach. Except for the 4 players of Amorim's killer squad. Major squad reform looms



Manchester United of the English Premier League (EPL) has hired Ruben Amorim (39) as the next head coach.

Manchester United signed coach Amorim until June 2027 on its official website on the 2nd (Korea time). He announced that he will join the team on the 11th when his current team Sporting CP (Portugal) finishes his work.

United have replaced Erik ten-Hach. He has started to appoint a successor as a head coach. The 39-year-old has chosen promising young coach Amorim as the next head coach.




Coach Ten Hag led Manchester United to the 2022-2023 League Cup (Carabao Cup) and the 2023-2024 FA Cup after taking the helm in April 2022. However, he struggled in the EPL.

In addition, he failed to clean up the locker room due to constant conflicts with existing players such as Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Amorim is the most highly rated among young coaches.




He took over as Sporting's head coach in March 2020 and won the regular league title in the 2020-2021 season and the second title in the 2023-2024 season.

He has already received love calls from EPL Manchester City and has been highly regarded by Manchester City as the successor of Pep Guardiola.

It is evaluated that Manchester United's selection of managers was appropriate.




Manchester United is headed by head coach Van Nistelrooy as a temporary head coach. With manager Amorim at the helm, Manchester United's squad, which was loose, is expected to blow.

Team Talk, a British soccer media outlet, already said on the 31st of last month (Korea time) 'Ruben Amorim has already talked about the team reorganization with the board of directors and has already announced that he plans to put four players on the transfer market'

Christian Eriksen, Viktor Lindelof, Casemiro and Anthony are the target players.

Antony and Casemiro are considered the main culprits of Ten Hag's downfall due to their extremely poor performance, contrary to expectations.
