Fri Nov 01 04:27:56 UTC 2024: ## Sporting CP Coach Ruben Amorim Remains Focused on Portuguese League Despite Manchester United Rumours

**Bengaluru, October 31, 2024:** Amidst reports that he is set to become Manchester United’s next manager, Sporting CP coach Ruben Amorim has insisted he is solely focused on his current team and their upcoming league match.

While British media outlets have speculated that Amorim will be announced as United’s new manager after the November international break, the 39-year-old has refused to comment on the rumours. He stated that discussing the potential move would be distracting for his squad, who are currently enjoying a perfect start to the Portuguese league season.

“I promise I’ll talk about it at the end of the game,” Amorim told reporters, referring to Sporting’s match against Estrela da Amadora on Friday. “Right now, the focus is on Estrela da Amadora. As for doing things differently, I wouldn’t.”

Amorim acknowledged that the rumours have caused anxiety among his players, but he stressed that he cannot control the negotiations between the clubs. “I know my players and I’m honest with you when I say that they weren’t normal,” he said. “They know me so well. I’ve proved that I’ll defend them until the last minute. But there are things I can’t control.”

Sporting CP have a busy schedule before the international break, with matches against Manchester City in the Champions League and Braga in the league. Amorim’s focus, for now, remains on delivering positive results for his current team.
