New deal for Amorim? Ex-Benfica man answers the press (Video) | OneFootball

Life for Rúben Amorim at Manchester United has not been easy since he left his managerial position at Sporting in November 2024. Since then, the former Benfica player has faced considerable criticism, both from supporters and from club legends. Recently, the Portuguese coach revealed that he was offered a new contract.

In a video that has been circulating on social media, the former Portuguese international can be seen at a press conference, where he is questioned by a journalist about a conversation he allegedly had with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of the Red Devils' executives.

Faced with the question, Amorim had no problem revealing the content of his conversation with the Englishman: "He [Sir Jim Ratcliffe] offered me a new contract". Following these statements, the Portuguese explained that this was a normal occurrence and that it was Manchester United's way of showing that they still count on him for the club's project.

After revealing that his answer was just a joke, the former Benfica man explained that he spoke with United's management about the project at hand, where they emphasized that they have a long-term goal and wanted to know how the squad was working.

It should be noted that criticism intensified again after the Red Devils were humiliated by their rivals in the Manchester derby, where City won 3-0. The Old Trafford club will be back in action tomorrow, September 20, to host Chelsea, with the match scheduled for 5:30 pm.
