The 39-year-old coach is very close to leaving Sporting‘s technical command to become the new helmsman of the ‘red devils’.
INEOS director, Dave Brailsford, confirmed on Wednesday night that Rúben Amorim‘s transfer to Manchester United “is closed”.
Upon leaving Old Trafford after the Red Devils’ thrashing of Leicester in a game valid for the English League Cup, the director responded affirmatively to the question about hiring the still Sporting coach.
“Yes, it’s closed, it’s closed,” he said.
INEOS, a group led by multimillionaire Jim Ratcliffe, has owned 25% of the English club since last year.
A Sky Sports says that the announcement of the 39-year-old coach’s transfer to Manchester United could happen this Thursday.
Two and a half year contract waiting for you
SIC knows that Rúben Amorim will sign a two-and-a-half-year contract with a further option, in a transfer that will yield 11 million euros to Sporting’s coffers.
Amorim’s technical committee will also go to Manchester without any financial compensation for the national champions.
