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.
