Ruben Amorim, the manager of Sporting CP, emphasizes that ‘nothing has been finalized’ in response to numerous inquiries regarding Manchester United.

**Amorim Faces Intense Speculation Amid Manchester United Links**

Ruben Amorim has firmly stated that “nothing is decided” regarding his potential move to Manchester United, as speculation surrounding the Sporting CP manager intensifies. The 39-year-old’s future has become a hot topic following confirmation from Sporting that United has activated his release clause, paving the way for negotiations to take place.

After guiding his team to a 3-1 victory over Nacional in the Portuguese League Cup, Amorim addressed the media, attempting to quell the growing chatter about his possible departure. “Nothing is decided yet. I don’t know if it’s the farewell game or not,” he remarked during an interview with Sport TV.

The press conference that followed saw Amorim confronted with a barrage of questions about the United job. One particularly lively exchange with an English journalist highlighted the mounting pressure on the Sporting boss. The reporter began, “I’ve heard the words Manchester United mentioned quite a few times at this press conference. Could you sum up where we are with the Manchester United move?”

Amorim responded cautiously, “We have to wait a little bit more, to explain everything I need to explain, and then everything… it will be very clear.” The journalist pressed further, “But the club have said that an approach has been made and the compensation fee has been agreed, so it’s now your decision I guess?”

“Yes. That’s what I said. It’s my decision. I will tell everything, so we have to wait. That’s it,” Amorim replied, though his tone suggested a mix of resolve and uncertainty. The reporter continued, “How long?” to which Amorim simply stated, “I don’t know.”

In a final attempt to clarify his immediate future, the journalist asked, “Will you be in the dugout at Old Trafford on Sunday?” Amorim’s response was non-committal: “I will be here.” When pressed for certainty, he could only laugh and say, “I don’t know.”

As the dust settles on Erik ten Hag’s sacking following Manchester United’s dismal start to the Premier League season, the search for a new manager is well underway. Amorim, who has previously been linked with the Liverpool job, has enjoyed considerable success at Sporting since taking the reins in 2020, securing two league titles, including the club’s first in 19 years.

Looking ahead, Amorim confirmed his intention to be at Sporting training on Wednesday, as the team prepares for their upcoming clash with Estrela da Amadora in Liga Portugal on Friday. The coming days promise to be pivotal for both Amorim and Manchester United as the managerial saga unfolds.
