New Man U Coach Ruben Amorim Rules Out January Transfers for Sporting Players

Ruben Amorim, recently appointed as the head coach of Manchester United, has decisively ruled out any January transfers involving players from his former club, Sporting Lisbon. This statement comes amidst rumors linking Sporting's star striker, Viktor Gyokeres, with a potential move to Old Trafford.

Amorim, who will officially assume his role at Manchester United on November 11, addressed these speculations following Sporting's recent match against Estrela Amadora. He stated, "I'm not going to come for any Sporting player in January. These years at Sporting have been the best years of my life, and I won't forget that." This clear declaration aims to reassure Sporting fans and players as he transitions to his new position.

Manchester United announced Amorim's appointment on November 1, highlighting him as "one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football." The 39-year-old Portuguese coach has played a pivotal role in Sporting's recent achievements, including their 3-1 victory over Estrela Amadora yesterday. This win further cements Sporting's strong standing in the league as Amorim prepares to depart.

Amorim's first match in charge of Manchester United is set for November 24, an away game against Ipswich Town. This fixture will mark the beginning of a new era for both Amorim and Manchester United, as the club seeks to revitalize its fortunes under his guidance.
