Man Utd have triggered the £8.3million release clause in his Sporting Lisbon contract and paid an extra £900,000 to stop a 30-day period where he would have to be unemployed.

Amorim has penned a deal at Old Trafford that runs until 2027 and contains an option for a further year.

The boss is reportedly set to pocket £6.5m per season at Man Utd.

That is slightly less than Ten Hag, who was earning £6.75m-a-year.

The Dutchman was on £9m when he first joined, but Man Utd failed to qualify for the Champions League last season and it supposedly triggered a pay cut.

Manchester City‘s Pep Guardiola tops the of highest paid Prem boss charts, with the six-time title winner on £20m each year.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta takes home £10m and Aston Villa gaffer Unai Emery is third on £8m.

Amorim’s £6.5m contract sees him go narrowly above Liverpool‘s Arne Slot on the richlist.

Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man Utd

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

WHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes Jordan Davies.

Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.

But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.

Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.

He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers. 

The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.

And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.

Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.

Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.

United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won’t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”

And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.

For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.
