Manchester United and Sporting have nearly finalized the transfer of Sporting's head coach, Rúben Amorim, to the English club. However, there remains some uncertainty as to when the coach will officially take over the Red Devils, as the Portuguese football giant has made a specific request to Amorim’s new employer.

Details: According to The Athletic, Amorim is set to join Manchester United during the November international break, with his first match expected to be an away game against Ipswich Town on November 24. This arrangement accommodates Sporting’s desire to retain their coach through a pivotal period of the season. United has agreed to this delay as a gesture of respect toward Amorim and his commitment to a smooth transition mid-season.

Reminder: Amorim’s release clause is reportedly set at €10 million, but it includes a 30-day waiting period. Manchester United intends to add an extra €1 million to accelerate his start during the upcoming international break.
