Manchester United has reportedly reached a deal in principle to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new manager, marking a significant step for the club following the recent sacking of Erik ten Hag. This will be the first permanent managerial appointment under INEOS, the club’s new ownership group, which has faced scrutiny for its handling of the team’s operations since taking control.

The decision to part ways with Ten Hag came after a disappointing start to the season, which left United languishing in the lower half of the Premier League table, a situation that has drawn heavy criticism from fans and analysts alike. Many had expected a stronger performance after last season’s eighth-place finish—United’s worst in the league since 1990—which put pressure on the new owners to make immediate and impactful changes.

Bringing in Amorim, 39, represents a bold gamble for United. Although he has enjoyed remarkable success with Sporting Lisbon, where he led the team to a league title with an impressive record of 85 points and just one defeat in the entire season, his managerial experience has been limited to Portugal’s Primeira Liga. The challenge of transitioning to the Premier League—a more competitive environment with a higher level of play—poses significant risks. Critics may argue that managing in Portugal does not adequately prepare a coach for the rigors and expectations of a club like Manchester United.

Nevertheless, Amorim’s accomplishments with Sporting have undoubtedly caught the attention of United’s leadership. His ability to break a near two-decade league title drought for the club showcases his potential to inspire and implement successful strategies. This could be seen as parallel to the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson’s own journey; Ferguson arrived from Aberdeen and, after several years of building a competitive side, ended a 26-year wait for a league title in the inaugural Premier League season of 1992/93.

If Amorim can replicate any aspect of Ferguson’s success, he may well rejuvenate the spirit and performance at Old Trafford. His appointment signals a willingness from the new ownership to take calculated risks in pursuit of restoring Manchester United’s former glory. The hope is that his fresh perspective and proven ability to achieve results can foster a new era of success for the club, turning the current discontent into a more optimistic outlook for fans.
