Amorim reveals Manchester United's ultimatum that led him to take charge of the club

Ruben Amorim wanted to take charge of Manchester United only at the end of the season, wishing to win the championship again with Sporting Lisbon. But the ultimatum from the Red Devils changed everything.

Quote: “The only question I asked was to leave at the end of the season. For three days, I said I wanted to stay until the end of the season, but then I was told it was not possible.

It was now or never – Manchester would choose another candidate,” said the 39-year-old coach.
