'Ruben will do...' Enzo Maresca gives his take on Manchester United's newly appointed coach

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed optimism about Manchester United's new managerial appointment. He believes that Ruben Amorim, the newly hired boss, has the potential to thrive in his role, noting that he has been closely observing Amorim’s management style. Following a humiliating defeat against West Ham, which sparked discussions, INEOS decided to part ways with Erik ten Hag.

Amorim has been identified as the ideal successor, and discussions are now underway with his current club, Sporting. According to Pulse Sports, Manchester United is prepared to offer the Portuguese club a compensation fee exceeding €10 million. The plan is to have Amorim step into his new role after the upcoming international break, ensuring he can focus on two pivotal matches for Sporting: one against Manchester City in the Champions League and another against Braga in Liga Portugal.

On 3rd November, Enzo Maresca will lead the Blues to Old Trafford, aiming to secure Chelsea's first victory at the Theatre of Dreams since 2013. With Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the opposing dugout, Maresca is mindful of the challenge posed by a Manchester United team managed by Ruben Amorim.

Having closely followed Amorim's career, Maresca recognizes his capabilities and anticipates that he will excel in his role at Manchester United.

“Rúben Amorim will do great job at Man United. I have watched many Sporting games and know the way they play”. Maresca said.

“It's a fantastic style, how they defend, the way they attack so for sure, I don't have any doubt that he's going to do a great job,” he added.

What Amorim's appointment means 

Rúben Amorim’s appointment as head coach at Manchester United signifies a new direction for the club. He has signed a contract that extends until June 2027, with the possibility of an additional year. Amorim is recognized for his innovative coaching methods and his talent for developing young players. His arrival comes after Erik ten Hag’s departure, following a challenging period for the team, which found itself in 14th place in the Premier League. This managerial transition is viewed as a proactive step toward adopting a modern and dynamic playing philosophy that can rejuvenate the club’s fortunes.
