Sporting CP Captain Morten Hjulmand Reflects on Ruben Amorim’s Move to Manchester United

Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand has commented on manager Ruben Amorim’s move to Manchester United, seeing it as a wonderful opportunity for the club to show itself. Amorim, who previously led Sporting to two league titles, will take over at Old Trafford on November 11.

After three years at Sporting, where he led the club to its first league title in 19 years and another last season, Amorim is about to begin a new chapter in his career at Manchester United. While his departure signals the end of an era, Hjulmand is eager to demonstrate that Sporting can continue to flourish.

Hjulmand’s Remarks

Reflecting on the change, Hjulmand stated:

“I see it as a positive challenge to try to be champions without Ruben, which is the main objective of this season. Life goes on, and we want to show that we no longer need him.”

Although saddened by Amorim’s exit, he acknowledged that such opportunities are part of the game and expressed hope that Amorim feels honored by this next step in his career.
