Ruben Amorim, poised to command Manchester United's squad, is recognized as one of football's most promising young managers. However, the journey to his current status was not without its doubts and challenges. In the early stages of his managerial career, Amorim, after only two matches, was so uncertain about his ability to lead that he attempted to resign. This incident occurred back in 2018 when he was just 33 years old and had started his coaching journey with Portuguese third-tier team Casa Pia, which was marked by two consecutive losses.

Upon entering the dressing room following his second defeat, Amorim had made up his mind to end his tenure prematurely, believing it would be in the best interest of all parties involved. As a novice still in pursuit of his Level 1 coaching certification, he felt that the club required a more established and experienced figurehead. With unwavering honesty, he communicated this to his surprised players. Among those players was Evandro Roncatto, a former teammate from their days at Belenenses and a close friend who had been signed by Amorim. Now the sports director of Oliveira do Hospital, Roncatto recalls the incident vividly. Despite Amorim's self-doubt, his players had already witnessed enough to have faith in him, and they swiftly conveyed a firm message to club president Victor Franco. Roncatto shared, "I was playing for Kalamata in Greece when Ruben called, and I was immediately impressed. However, he had doubts because he lacked a professional coaching qualification. He was very honest about his concerns, fearing he might harm the team due to not being a well-known coach. He entered the dressing room while we were changing and announced in front of the president and vice-president, 'I'm leaving.'" The players' immediate response was to stand up and inform the president that if Amorim were to be let go, they would all leave the club as well. They were emotionally invested and staunchly defended their coach. When the president found himself in such a predicament, any thoughts of dismissing Amorim vanished almost instantly. The players' faith in the dressing room was well-placed, as Casa Pia went on to claim the championship, and Amorim's coaching career skyrocketed. Within a year, Braga had recruited him as their reserve team manager, and three months later, he was at the helm of the first team. After just 13 games Sporting, Lisbon invested £8 million to secure his services. This episode also highlighted the loyalty that many players who have worked under Amorim claim he instills in them, with Roncatto being a prime example. The bond between them had been forged when Roncatto first arrived at Belenenses in the early 2000s, with Amorim acting as his unofficial guardian, providing meals at his family home and helping him acclimate to life in Portugal. Roncatto, now 38, praised Amorim's treatment of his players as exceptional, stating, "When he left Casa Pia for Sporting Braga, I said, 'This is where the story of an elite coach begins.' I wasn't wrong, and United has chosen the perfect person for the job."

Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly in the mix to sign Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr., as the Brazilian winger has rejected new contract negotiations, sparking interest from top clubs. According to Spanish media outlet Relevo, the 24-year-old, who has been a standout performer in La Liga and was a contender for the Ballon d'Or before Rodri's victory, is being pursued by several teams, with the Premier League giants among them.

Vinicius Jr., whose contract extends through 2027, has attracted the attention of Manchester United and Chelsea, who are keen to secure his services. However, they are not alone in their pursuit, as Paris Saint-Germain, the French champions, are also interested in acquiring the star winger. This interest is particularly notable given the tense relationship between Real Madrid and PSG over the prolonged pursuit of Kylian Mbappe. PSG is said to be eager to exact a form of revenge on Real Madrid by luring Vinicius Jr. away under similar circumstances. Real Madrid's management is desperate to prevent such an outcome and is intent on showing their appreciation for Vinicius Jr.'s contributions. In addition to European interest, Vinicius Jr. has also been the subject of a massive offer from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The proposal, which was rumored to be in the region of €1 billion over five seasons for a move to Al-Ahli, highlights the global demand for his talents. Despite the intense interest, Real Madrid is determined to retain Vinicius Jr. for the long term. However, for now, discussions regarding a new contract have been postponed. Vinicius Jr. has been a key figure at Real Madrid, contributing to three LaLiga titles, two Champions Leagues, a Copa del Rey, and two Club World Cups. His performance last season, with 24 goals and 11 assists, had many anticipating a Ballon d'Or win, a disappointment that was deeply felt by both the player and the club.
A former star of Real Madrid has voiced his lingering disappointment, claiming that he was unjustly denied the Ballon d'Or award 14 years ago.

Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones has spoken out regarding the club's decision to dismiss Erik ten Hag, suggesting that the Dutch coach may have grown increasingly frustrated during his final days at Old Trafford. Ten Hag's tenure came to an end after a period of intense speculation that saw Manchester United's Premier League standing plummet to 14th place.
2025-07-18 06:26:24
Jones, who found himself marginalized by Ten Hag following his arrival in 2022, shared his perspective on the manager's departure and his experience playing under him in an interview with BBC's Planet Premier League. He remarked, "I think he's very proud of what he did at Ajax and I think he backed himself to make good decisions." However, Jones also acknowledged that towards the end of Ten Hag's time at United, he might have become "a bit irritated by people questioning him." The ex-United player pointed out that Manchester United's struggles began well before Ten Hag's arrival, tracing back to the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. Jones lamented the loss of the club's identity over the years and emphasized the need to return to the basics of solid, compact, and hard-to-beat football. Ruben Amorim is rumored to be the club's top choice to replace Ten Hag, with Manchester United reportedly preparing to trigger the €10 million (£8.5m) release clause in his contract with Sporting Lisbon. Jones, who retired from professional football in August and has been assisting the club's youth teams, highlighted the importance of the club's core personnel who understand its inner workings. As Manchester United moves closer to finalizing a deal with Amorim, the club continues to search for stability and a return to their former glory. The team's recent 5-2 victory over Leicester, with goals from Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Alejandro Garnacho, showcased a dominant performance in the absence of Ten Hag. United is set to face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals following Tottenham's 2-1 victory over Manchester City.
