BREAKING NEWS: live from old Trafford, “I think Manchester united finally listened to me. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is doing a good job. Sporting Lisbon has always been my club and I know how good RúbenAmorim has made them. United will be a great club in no time when he finally becomes their Manager”-Cristiano Ronaldo’s agrees with Manchester United Ruben Amorim as they choose him to replace Erik Ten Hag.
Cristiano Ronaldo has affectionately nicknamed Ruben Amorim “the poet,” a nod to the coach’s charismatic, articulate presence both on and off the field. Amorim, who has spent four highly successful years managing Sporting CP, is now on the verge of a major move to Manchester United. Reports from the Portuguese outlet A Bola suggest that United representatives will be traveling to Lisbon on Tuesday to finalize the deal immediately after Sporting’s upcoming match against Nacional.
Amorim, 39, is a coach with a strong reputation in European football, known for his tactical acumen and leadership. His style has earned admiration from fans and players alike, including United’s own Bruno Fernandes, who recently highlighted Amorim’s impressive work at Sporting. “Since Mr. Amorim arrived at Sporting, they’ve become one of the top teams in terms of style and consistency,” Fernandes noted. “He’s proven his capabilities by winning two championships and breaking a 20-year title drought at Sporting. His dedication and work ethic are unmatched.”
Portuguese football analyst Marcus Alves shares this view, pointing to Amorim’s ability to keep Sporting competitive despite frequent player sales. “He has delivered consistent results,” Alves told BBC Sport. “Even with a high turnover of talent, he maintains the team’s strength, showing that no player is bigger than the club.” Alves remarked that while the Manchester United job presents a formidable challenge, Amorim is no stranger to taking on tough situations—Sporting itself was seen as a challenging appointment when he first arrived.
Ronaldo’s “poet” nickname for Amorim captures the manager’s unique presence. He’s not only articulate with the media but also commands attention and respect from his players, setting a tone of professionalism and harmony within the team. As Alves explains, “Amorim is eloquent and outgoing, with a strong, confident energy. Above all, he doesn’t tolerate unprofessional behavior, and he has a history of bringing unity to teams with divided locker rooms.”
As Amorim’s potential move to Manchester United grows closer, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his disciplined, “poetic” approach could shape United’s future. His track record of transforming teams, even amid adversity, suggests he may be well-equipped to take on the challenges at Old Trafford and establish a new chapter for the club.
