"Manchester United begin 2026 in the mix for a European push, with boss Ruben Amorim hoping to continue the progress his team has made since last season's hugely disappointing 15th-place finish in the Premier League. The 40-year-old arrived at Old Trafford in November 2024 with a reputation for being one of Europe's best young coaches, having won a pair of Portuguese titles during his three seasons with Sporting."
"Football-wise, my time in Portugal was tough, but I learned key lessons, Bellerin told FourFourTwo. I found a great coach in Amorim, who for me is part of the new school of coaches. He was very good at the simple side of the game and I loved his ideas as a coach. It was really good to learn from him."
Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford in November 2024 at age 40, following three seasons at Sporting where he won two Portuguese titles. Manchester United hired him to restore title-contender status after a 15th-place Premier League finish. After a difficult start, the team entered 2026 competing for European qualification and showing clear progress. Hector Bellerin, who spent six months with Amorim at Sporting during 2022/23, described adapting to Portugal as tough but said he learned key lessons. Bellerin praised Amorim as part of a new school of coaches who emphasize clear vision, simple tactical principles and practical coaching ideas.
