Ruben Amorim led Sporting to the Primeira Liga title in 2021, ending a 19-year league title drought.LISBON - Ruben Amorim said on Tuesday that no deal was in place for him to become the next manager of Manchester United after Sporting announced the Premier League club were prepared to pay the Portuguese club his 10 million euros release clause.
"There's nothing to talk about. There's the club statement, everyone knows about it. It was said by the club. For the rest, we don't know the exact details. We'll see. Amorim tried to steer questions back to the game but he had to repeat the same answer several times as reporters kept asking him about United.
Portuguese media reported his final game with Sporting would be on Tuesday evening against Nacional, and that Amorim is negotiating with United over his staff and salary. The Portuguese is no stranger to the Old Trafford pressure-cooker, having done a coaching internship under Jose Mourinho at the club six years ago.
"It's a very well prepared team. Coaching Sporting and winning championships is not easy. Sporting went 20 years without winning championships and Amorim arrived and has already won two, this shows that the work has been done well.
