Ruben Amorim Addresses Manchester United Speculation: "Nothing Has Been Decided Yet"

Ruben Amorim, the highly regarded manager of Sporting Lisbon, has publicly commented on the ongoing speculation surrounding his potential move to Manchester United, emphasizing that "nothing has yet been decided." This statement came after it was confirmed that United is willing to activate Amorim's £8.3 million release clause as they seek a replacement for Erik ten Hag, who was sacked earlier this week.

After leading Sporting to a 3-1 victory over Nacional in the League Cup, Amorim faced intense media scrutiny regarding his future. He reiterated his focus on his current role, stating, "I have nothing new to say at this moment," and expressed his desire to help Sporting achieve further success, aiming for double titles in the league and cup. He acknowledged the interest from Manchester United but maintained that his decision is yet to be made, adding, "We have to wait."

As Amorim weighs his options, he acknowledged the club's official statement regarding United's interest and the financial aspects involved. He stressed the importance of clarity and promised to communicate his decision when it becomes concrete. With sources indicating that an announcement regarding United's new permanent manager is not imminent, Amorim could potentially be in charge for their upcoming match against Chelsea if a compensation deal is finalized swiftly.
