The Sporting manager will be able to bring his coaching staff to Old Trafford, and Manchester United has agreed to pay a larger price than Ruben Amorim’s release clause in order to capture him as quickly as feasible. According to the Telegraph, the 39-year-old has a €10 million release clause in his contract at José Alvalade Stadium, but United is prepared to “pay 12 million euros (£10.05 million) in compensation,” which is €2 million more than what is needed.
According to reports, this additional funding will “cover the release of Amorim’s backroom staff to work alongside him at Old Trafford.” Sporting had been “demanding money to cover” Amorim’s thirty-day notice period under his contract, which would have allowed the coach to leave Lisbon for Manchester as soon as feasible.
Man Utd agree deal for Ruben Amorim with official start date set
According to Laurie Whitwell, Manchester United and Sporting have now reached an agreement for the release of Ruben Amorim, who will begin his new position during the November international break. United has not spent any time trying to find a new manager since firing Erik ten Hag on Monday. While Ruud van Nistelrooy led United to victory over Leicester City on Wednesday, United executives were quietly negotiating a deal for Amorim.
Following an agreement with Sporting over Amorim’s release clause, United has now decided to sign him as their new manager, according to Whitwell of The Athletic. For their upcoming three games, which include matches against Manchester City, United’s opponents, Amorim is expected to remain with the Portuguese team.
