Story

Ruben Amorim, the future manager of Manchester United, clarified that he did not engage in negotiations for the West Ham United position during his visit to London earlier this year. He met West Ham owner David Sullivan to discuss unspecified topics but insists there was no secretive or formal negotiation to succeed David Moyes, who was eventually replaced by Julen Lopetegui. Amorim acknowledged that this trip was a mistake and conceded it was disrespectful but maintained that his mind was already made up regarding his future. Currently, as he prepares for a Champions League match with Sporting CP against Manchester City, Amorim expresses that his focus lies solely on winning rather than the expectations tied to his forthcoming role at Old Trafford. He understands that success in the Champions League could raise expectations further for his Manchester United tenure, but he aims to remain grounded.
