not going to lie, I'm pretty excited by Ruben Amorim taking over (some details left to iron out, but everything pointing in that direction). This one has Omar Berrada's fingerprints all over ... given some of the names that have been floated, this one is by far the most exciting choice. Up and coming manager who faced a similar situation at Sporting and brought them back to glory, and I think the back three that he favors actually makes a ton of sense with this squad.
I'd imagine van Nistelrooy will have a couple of games before everything is ironed out. United are paying Amorim's release clause, but there's still some haggling over the backroom staff and 30 days notice that Amorim apparently has in his contract. Will probably have to wait until Sporting has a replacement lined up.
