We are going to win the league this season with him. No Manchester United coach has ever promised the club as much as he did. He is the special one for us”-“FANS ARE SHOCKED” as Ruben Amorim makes ‘promise’ to Man Utd fans during Sporting Lisbon press conference after move finally ‘confirmed’
Ruben Amorim has assured Manchester United fans that clarity about his future will come soon, with an announcement on his move to Old Trafford seemingly imminent.
Speaking Thursday afternoon, the 39-year-old Portuguese coach addressed the ongoing speculation and hinted at a final decision. While he’s reportedly close to joining United, fans may need to wait just a bit longer for official confirmation.
“I understand why [journalists] traveled here to discuss this, and it’s natural, but we’ll leave that for after the game,” Amorim shared in a press conference ahead of Sporting’s league fixture against Estrela Amadora. “After the game, I’ll address all these matters,” he added.
“It’s a negotiation between two clubs,” Amorim continued, acknowledging the complexity. “It’s never simple—even with clauses. But after the game, there will be clarity. One more day, and the decision will be made.”
His message to reporters was clear: “I promise, at the end of the game, I’ll make everything clear. Right now, talking about this would only distract the team. My focus, and the team’s, is on the game.”
Throughout United’s pursuit, Amorim has maintained his professionalism, focusing on Sporting’s performances. He recently guided his team to a 3-1 victory over Nacional in the Taca da Liga, and tomorrow’s match could see Sporting continue their flawless league record with ten wins in ten games.
According to *The Telegraph*, Sporting are expected to confirm their agreement with United today. However, it’s likely Amorim will stay on for Sporting’s next three fixtures, including a Champions League clash against Manchester City on November 5. If all goes as planned, Amorim would join United after the international break, potentially debuting against Ipswich Town on November 24.
Ruben Amorim’s statements provide strong hints that his move to Manchester United is close to being finalized, with official clarity expected soon. His emphasis on maintaining focus for Sporting’s upcoming match shows his dedication to the club amid intense speculation. Sporting and United appear to be aligning terms, though Amorim might complete a few more matches with Sporting, including their high-profile Champions League encounter against Manchester City on November 5.
If all proceeds as planned, Amorim could join Manchester United following the international break and potentially debut in their game against Ipswich Town on November 24. His tactical acumen and recent successes with Sporting suggest he could bring fresh strategies and strong leadership to Old Trafford, and United fans will eagerly await the official announcement.
