Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC Battle for Sporting CP Manager Rúben Amorim
Manchester United Set Their Sights on Sporting CP Manager Rúben Amorim
Manchester United is reportedly interested in appointing Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim as their new manager, according to The Athletic. Amorim has impressed at Sporting CP, leading the club to the Primeira Liga title in 2020-21 and the Taça da Liga in 2021 and 2022. He has also guided the club to the knockout stages of the Champions League in both of the past two seasons.
Amorim is a highly-rated young manager, and he would be a major coup for Manchester United. He is known for his attacking style of play, and he has a good track record of developing young players. He would be a good fit for Manchester United, who are looking to rebuild their squad after a disappointing season.
Manchester City Also Interested in Amorim
However, Manchester United are not the only club interested in Amorim. Manchester City are also reportedly interested in the Portuguese manager, according to The Telegraph. Manchester City are looking for a new manager after Pep Guardiola announced that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Amorim would be a good fit for Manchester City, who are looking for a manager who can continue their attacking style of play. He is also a good manager of young players, which would be beneficial for Manchester City, who have a number of talented youngsters in their squad.
Amorim's Decision
It is unclear at this stage which club Amorim will choose to join. He is likely to weigh up the pros and cons of both clubs before making a decision. Manchester United are a bigger club with a larger history, but Manchester City are the current Premier League champions and have a more settled squad.
Ultimately, the decision will be up to Amorim. He will need to decide which club is the best fit for him and his career.
