Two major figures – one a player and the other a club legend – are fully expected to leave Manchester United in the wake of Ruben Amorim becoming the next permanent manager, according to reports.
Amorim has agreed to become the next Man Utd manager and the club have officially informed Sporting CP of their intention to activate his €10m release clause. That last step is required given Sporting CP are a publicly traded company.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has taken interim charge for the time being and will be in the dugout for tonight’s EFL Cup clash with Leicester.
But according to a fresh update from the i newspaper, the Man Utd legend ‘expects to leave the club’ rather than revert to his prior role as assistant manager.
The report added Amorim ‘is almost certainly going to bring his own staff with him from Sporting.’ Among those expected to join Amorim at Old Trafford are assistants Carlos Fernandes and Adelio Candido who have followed Amorim to three different clubs so far.
That news comes on the back of talkSPORT reporting a consequence of Amorim’s impending arrival is mega-money winger Antony being transfer-listed.
It’s claimed Antony – who cost an initial £82m to sign – has already been told he can leave in January with Amorim not planning to utilise the winger in any way, shape or form.
