It takes lots of guts to take over a team that's actually playing win one game, draw two games and lose three games before winning again. That was the situation Manchester United found themselves and Amorim left his winning Sporting side in Portugal to England to catch a depleting team. That's enough guts for me, yes the team ended up badly but for the benefit of doubts I personally didn't judge him because he didn't start with the team and didn't also buy the players.
But one thing that Man United still has is the popularity of their team, which we know that Man United in the past was one of the teams most feared by all football clubs in Europe. And since then this team has become a team that always attracts the attention of many people compared to other teams. Maybe this is equivalent to Real Madrid and Barcelona. because of the creation of many football legends from these 3 teams which we are now quite familiar with.
And Amorim knows that if he takes this opportunity, namely coaching Man United, then he can benefit more in terms of popularity. If he succeeds in resurrecting Man United then he will become one of the coaches whose coaching future will be truly guaranteed. And even if he fails at Man United then he knows that everyone will understand it. Because everyone knows that reviving the Man United team is quite difficult. So Amorim really dared to take the offer because he saw that the profits would also be higher for him. Especially in terms of popularity.
