“I think Manchester united finally listened to me. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is doing a good job. Sporting Lisbon has always been my club and I know how good RúbenAmorim has made them. United will be a great club in no time when he finally becomes their Manager”-Cristiano Ronaldo’s agrees with Manchester United Ruben Amorim as they choose him to replace Erik Ten Hag.

Cristiano Ronaldo has given Ruben Amorim the nickname “poet,” a nod to the manager’s eloquent communication style and charismatic personality.

Amorim, who has achieved impressive results over four years with Sporting CP, is reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester United. According to the Portuguese news source A Bola, United representatives are expected to travel to Lisbon on Tuesday to finalize the deal shortly after Sporting’s upcoming match against Nacional.

The 39-year-old manager is widely respected, and among his admirers is Bruno Fernandes, who recently applauded Amorim’s impact. “Since Mr. Amorim took charge at Sporting, they’ve become one of the strongest teams, not only in style but also in consistency,” Fernandes noted. “He’s already won two championships and broke a 20-year title drought at Sporting, proving his expertise.”

Portuguese football writer Marcus Alves echoed these sentiments, praising Amorim’s consistent performance. “He’s delivered steady results despite frequent player departures, proving that no single player defines the team,” Alves shared with BBC Sport. He added that while managing Manchester United may appear challenging, Amorim is no stranger to daunting tasks, given the state of Sporting when he took over.

Ronaldo’s “poet” nickname for Amorim reflects his skillful communication with both players and the media. Alves elaborated, “Amorim is articulate, engaging, and commands attention. He has a low tolerance for unprofessional behavior and has successfully united teams that were once divided.”
