Fri Nov 01 01:58:50 UTC 2024: ## New Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim Plans Major Squad Shakeup
**Manchester, England** – In a surprising turn of events, Manchester United has appointed Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim as their new head coach, following the sacking of Erik ten Hag earlier this week. Amorim, a former teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo, has reportedly already said goodbye to the Portuguese club and is ready to take on the challenge at Old Trafford.
While the club is placing their faith in Amorim, the new manager is set to make significant changes to the squad. According to reports, Amorim has identified three players who are considered “untouchable”: Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Kobbie Mainoo. This suggests that established players like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford may face a battle for their place in the starting XI.
However, Amorim has also revealed that four players are not part of his long-term plans. Winger Antony, defender Victor Lindelof, and midfielders Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are all set to be made available for transfer in the January window.
The board reportedly shares Amorim’s opinion on these four players, particularly the Brazilians, who are seen as underperforming and not delivering value for their high wages. Antony, who arrived from Ajax for a hefty £85 million, has been particularly underwhelming and has even been subject to criticism from fans and rivals.
While the arrival of Amorim marks a new era at Manchester United, it’s clear that he’s ready to take decisive action and reshape the squad in his image. This could potentially mark a turning point for the club as they look to regain their former glory.
