Ruben Amorim: The new hope for Manchester United!

Manchester United has a new captain on board! Ruben Amorim, the 39-year-old Portuguese coach, takes over his first game against Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday. He was introduced as the successor to Erik Ten HAG and has an impressive coaching career that leads him from Sporting Lisbon to the Red Devils.

Amorim, known as the "New Mourinho", has already made a name for itself in the football world. With two championship titles at Sporting Lisbon, he has proven that he has the stuff to achieve great success. But the challenge in Manchester is a completely different league. He faces the task of attributing the club to old strength and winning the first Premier League championship since 2013. Amorim, who mentions the legendary Mourinho as a model, has already developed the respect for many in his short career.

The amorim effect

Amorim began his coaching career in 2018 and quickly became the most sought-after young coach. After a short stint at Casa Pia, he took over the reins at Braga and led the team to a surprising League Cup victory. However, his greatest triumph came with Sporting, where he brought back the Primeira Liga after 19 years in his first year. In his final game as Sporting manager, he recorded an impressive 4-1 win against Manchester City, leaving the team at the top of the league.

Amorim will come to Manchester with a clear plan: he prefers a defense of three with two wing players and two central midfielder. The question remains how his tactical guidelines will affect the current team that only won three out of nine games this season and is on the 14th place. Amorim, who is only a week older than Cristiano Ronaldo, will be dependent on the experience of his older players to bring about the turn. The eyes are aimed at him while preparing for the challenge in the Premier League!
