“This is a case that has not been decided. Now I have nothing to say. I don’t want to create noise because there is nothing concrete. We still don’t know the details for sure. We will see .It will go through my decision.When I am sure of everything, I will say.
“When I have to take something, I take it”
Later in a press conference, Amorim said there is currently only one statement from Sporting regarding Britain’s interest in signing him but reiterated that the “decision will pass alone”.
“The club statement was there and it’s the only thing they have now. There is interest from Manchester United. But it happens to be my choice. Until everything is decided, let’s not make a noise. I have nothing good to say. I’ll take anything you want to do, like I always have“, he said.
“I’m not going to talk about my contract, it’s something between me and Sporting. All the clauses in the contract are put in by the employer and the employee who sends them in. I can say that the statement tells you all the information you need“, he said.
“I explained to the players what was happening”
Sporting’s statement came on the day the team played in Alvalade for the League Cup, Rúben Amorim revealed that he explained to the players what was happening to “take the elephant out of the room”.
“There was no discussion about anything, it was just before the dead balls put the elephant out of the room. Before the statement came out, I explained to the players everything that was happening. There’s nothing else to say,” he said.
Amorim has two national titles, both with Sporting (2020/21 and 2023/24), three League Cups (2019/20, with Sporting de Braga, 2020/21 and 2021/22 with the ‘lions’) and one Super Cup Cândido Oliveira (2021/22), who was also in charge of the ‘green and whites’.
