The English club's note also states that the coach will remain with the 'lions' until November 11th, so he will be in charge of the Portuguese team for three more matches, two in the League (Estrela da Amadora and Sporting de Braga) and one in the Champions League (Manchester City).
In a statement sent to the Securities Market Commission (CMVM), Sporting reports the transfer, stating that Manchester United will pay 11 million euros (ME) for the coach, in addition to the 'lions' having "a benefit of 1,658 ME relative the extinction of credit rights, recorded as liabilities and contingent liabilities, as a result of the revocation and renegotiation of contracts referring to intermediation fees".
It's done.

Bem-vindo ao Manchester United, Ruben Amorim 🇵🇹🤝🔴#MUFC
The former midfielder heads to the most important world championship at the age of 39, after just seven seasons as a coach, on a journey that began at Casa Pia and with Sporting de Braga, before, in 2019/20, arriving at the 'lions', the in exchange for the 10 million euros in the termination clause.
Rúben Amorim signed a contract valid until June 2027 for the Red Devils, who, after nine rounds, occupy 14th place in the Premier League, with 11 points, 12 behind rivals and four-time champions Manchester City, who lead.
You rarely get a shot at a manager's job because the last guy was doing a good job, but even still, I wouldn't leave a top club in Portugal for the Man United job. Too much rot, and Amorim won't be allowed to rip it out.
