Manchester United have resolved the manager's issue after the departure Erika ten Haag, but it is still unknown when it will Reuben Amorim to take over the great man from "Old Trafford".
The young coach of Sporting said "yes" to United, the same was the answer of the Portuguese club to the offer from England of 10 million euros, so Amorim is already being managed as the manager of the British giant - only bureaucracy remains. Or so it is believed...
Tomorrow evening, Sporting will play Estrella in the Portuguese championship, and Amorim called on the clubs to come to an agreement as soon as possible because waiting is not good for any of the three parties.
- When two clubs are negotiating - it's never easy - said the 39-year-old expert.
United expected to have Amor on the bench already on Sunday in the derby with Chelsea, but it is certain that he will lead the team in that meeting as well. Rud van Nistelrooy, after his team outclassed Leicester in the League Cup on Wednesday - 5:2.
- I hope that after our championship game, things will be clearer - added Amorim.
His ambition is clear, the challenge is the Premier League, but the Portuguese media point out that Amorim does not want to show any disrespect to Sporting, the club where he became one of the most respected young coaches in the world. He had the same attitude this summer when he was a target of Liverpool, before the "Reds" hired him Arnea Slota.
The weekend is probably crucial for the complete operation, but the BBC reports that Amorim expects to be at Sporting until the representative break that follows in ten days. However, until he leaves he wants to continue his winning streak - tomorrow he is chasing his 10th triumph in as many games in the Portuguese championship.
- I have a fantastic relationship with the players and it is clear to me that all this affects them. I can feel it, I can see that they are nervous and waiting for news. However, we know each other well and they know that we are together, that I will be with them until the last second. Now there are simply events that we cannot influence - said Amorim.
Amorim is waiting in Manchester, and Van Nistelrooy is motivated to stay at the club.
- It was difficult for us after the departure of Ten Hag, but we had to "reset". I am always here for this club, in any role - said Van Nistelroj.
