What's happening in terms of coaching staff? Is Amorim bringing people with him? Is Ruud staying?
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Fair play to Sporting. They have handled all this far far better than I thought they would. Taking their manager in the middle of the season is just unacceptable and I would absolutely hate to have that done to us. But they have been nothing but professiobal throughout the whole process from what I've read at least.
You're a really good egg.
I find this fanciful looking at the reluctance in parting ways with Ten Hag. Had he - not been a bust - and if we were flying this season, we wouldn't have sacked him, so I doubt our recruitment was informed by Amorim/us potentially moving for him. Think it's one of those weird cases of "it worked out"
Excited by this but cautious after being burnt numerous times.
Will be interesting to see his first line up, I know people say, its the perfect time to get a manager in the international break but I feel its a negative.
The better players will be away for 10 days with international duty, players like Garnacho, Lisandro will probably come back 1/2 days before the game, so he wont really have time with those players.
So as a player, would you pull out the internationals? Especially players who dont start, like De Ligt, Garnacho, Zikrzee? Would they be better of not going?
The players who remain like , Mainoo, Rashford, Antony, Maguire, Evans may be the ones to benefit as they will be working on the new system.
Will be quite interesting to see, which players pull out with injury if any.

Good luck. He will need it. Changing the playstyle would be nice, but I also thought that would happen under Ten Hag and it didn't.
Hopefully, he realises early on certain players should be getting sold at the earliest possible moment, or he will quickly board the Sack Express as well.

Oh yea, you're right. Just re-read it and what you said makes sense. Seems like they saved that amount due to "termination and renegotiation of contracts related to intermediary commissions".
This translation makes more sense(thanks random person on 'X') :
I'm grateful to be honest. I know some Sporting fans have turn on him, it's difficult to accept because of the timing and our superb start. But I'm understanding. You don't say no to the chance of managing one of the biggest club in the World. Along Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern and Liverpool, United is part of the club Royalty. This rough stretch doesn't change that. I prefer to keep the memories and be grateful for the success he brought to our club rather than being negative.
Can be bring some physios and medics with him too please.
It's a new start and I'm looking forward to it.
Some man
Good luck. I'm excited about the new project.
I know this isn't quite the place for it - but is anyone else unable to get into the matchday thread for the chelsea game? It's just not there!
Interested to see if RVN speaks with Ruben and switches formation.
Me too but the first part (good luck) is so important too. Regardlesss of being a good coach you also have to have the luck and hopefully he brings that too as we are looooong overdue some.
First order of business, world class potential LB or LWB. Next is Rashford and Bruno. Can we get them going or is our reliance on them actually what’s holding us back all these years. Keep clearing out players who’ve been here for years and won almost nothing.
He won’t and shouldn’t. It his team for the next week. He should play what he is comfortable in playing.
My feelings exactly. Head coach should be the one who coaches team and that is it.
Not saying that he should not have a vote about recruitment, of course he must have a say. But not be in charge for that.
wish you guys all the best and really hope you can still win the title.
He might be leaving in 10 days, he should stick to his own plan and use this as an audition to land another job. Show what he's capable of.
I must say that it is a nice feeling having a manager who is rated by our rivals.
I do hope he will not do Solskjaer and Ten Hag; ditch his style of play because "PL is different league".
Solskjaer came with phrases about attacking game, full backs staying high and ended up as being counter attacking manager. Erik ditched possession style for "being best transition team in Europe".

Aww we promise to take care o…. Aaah who am I kidding we will ruin him.
Exciting.
I think similar things were said about ETH but he was managing the dominant team in his league. Amorim took over with them 19th and their fans attacking their players. What he’s done has been superb and on less money than Porto and Benfica. Finally a charismatic young manager too. Hopefully gets the media onside from the get go as he’ll still need time.

He is there to server United not RVN in fairness.
There's a bald Dutchman looking for work.
Btw, how was Ugarte under him?
Amorim next season
He was excellent, that's why we sold him for 60 million to PSG.
Let's also hope he will have the easiest job from all the post-Ferguson managers, thanks to the structure provided for him. I'm optimistic that this will be the case. But for his United stint to be considered a success, he'll need to win at least 1 PL or CL.
Why is he called the Head Coach and not the manager?
What’s the main role of a sports scientist?
Turning Maguire into an actual player.
I hear your point. I hope this guy has a think enough skin for the awful media mashup MUFC have become. Looking forward to seeing how he approaches job. Best of luck to him and us.
Barreira (his fitness coach) used to be at dippers and Arsenal. He’s supposed to be very good, and Amorim’s record of keeping players fit is seen as one of his skills (though it's something Portuguese coaches are generally known for).
