Amorim is anticipated to travel to England on Wednesday, bringing along three coaches: Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, and Jorge Vital, ahead of his move to Old Trafford.

Reports from his home country suggest that he was close to resigning during the summer. Liverpool manager Arne Slot commented on Ten Hag’s situation, expressing his belief that Ten Hag will soon return to a top club, highlighting his past successes at Ajax and his work ethic. He acknowledged the disappointment Ten Hag must feel but remains optimistic about his future opportunities.
