"Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim looks to be a target for Portuguese giants Benfica. The 40-year-old took over at Old Trafford in November 2024, but has faced criticism throughout his tenure due to inconsistent results. United have won only three of their opening eight matches this season, and were dumped out of the Carabao Cup in the first round by League Two side Grimsby Town."
"It seems Benfica hold an interest in Amorim, despite recently appointing Jose Mourinho as their new manager. But whilst the former Chelsea chief signed a two-year contract, it is thought that his deal includes a break clause which could allow him to leave at the end of this season. Former Benfica striker Nuno Gomes is currently running to become president of the Lisbon-based side, and recently discussed his vision for the future with Portuguese sports paper Record."
Ruben Amorim became Manchester United manager in November 2024 and has faced criticism after inconsistent results. United have won only three of their opening eight matches this season and were eliminated from the Carabao Cup in the first round by League Two side Grimsby Town. Benfica are reportedly interested in Amorim despite appointing Jose Mourinho as manager. Mourinho signed a two-year contract with a reported break clause that could allow an exit. Former Benfica striker Nuno Gomes is running for the club presidency and signalled interest in bringing Bernardo Silva to Benfica. United currently have no immediate plans to dismiss Amorim but could consider a change if the club finish outside European places.
