Bayern’s Joao Palhinha Praises Ruben Amorim’s Move to Manchester United

Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha has congratulated his “friend” Ruben Amorim on his upcoming role as Manchester United’s new manager, calling it a “big step” in his career. Amorim, who will take over on November 11 with a contract running until June 2027, becomes United’s sixth full-time manager since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.

Amorim made his mark at Sporting CP, leading the club to two Portuguese league titles, including one that broke an 18-year title drought. His achievements have earned him considerable recognition in European football, and Manchester United’s board hopes his experience in building a winning culture will help the club regain its former glory.

What Palhinha Said

Palhinha expressed his admiration for Amorim’s achievement, stating:

“It’s a big step for him and he deserves it. As a former teammate and friend, I wish him all the best and much success.”

The Bayern star’s comments highlight the respect and friendship the two share, as Amorim embarks on his new journey at Old Trafford.
