Manchester United Players Shocked by Ruben Amorim's Young Age

Manuel Ugarte recently discussed Ruben Amorim's appointment as Manchester United's new head coach. Having worked under Amorim at Sporting Lisbon, Ugarte shared that his team-mates had expressed surprise at Amorim's young age of 39, which makes him the club's youngest manager since the 1960s. Ugarte, who played a significant role during his time at Sporting Lisbon, is optimistic about Amorim's capabilities as he transitions into this new challenge at Manchester United. Amorim has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the option for a one-year extension. He will officially start his role on November 11, 2023, and aims to restore the club's former glories after their struggles under previous management. This transition comes with increased expectations from both players and fans, as Ugarte emphasizes the potential influence of Amorim’s experience and winning mentality.
