Ruben Amorim may return to Benfica: what is known about the possible transfer.

According to The Sun: The Portuguese Ruben Amorim may have an unexpected opportunity if his situation at 'Manchester United' continues to deteriorate.

The coach has planned urgent talks with the club's management after a shameful defeat in the League Cup against 'Grimsby' last Wednesday.

However, there is a possibility arising from one of his former teams.

According to The Times, the Portuguese giants 'Benfica' may offer Amorim the position of head coach of the club.

Joao Noronha Lopes, one of the candidates for the presidency of 'Benfica', expressed interest in bringing Amorim back to the Luz Stadium.

“He is a great coach, under contract with 'Manchester United'. I will not destabilize 'Benfica'. They have a very important match ahead.”

While he could not clearly state his position on the return of the 40-year-old specialist to Lisbon, it became known that the 59-year-old gentleman would be pleased to involve Amorim at the club.

This will depend on whether Lopes can win the presidential election in October.

Currently, 'Benfica' is led by former 'Wolverhampton' coach Bruno Lage. The club has won two victories in the first two matches of the new season and aims to make up for the two points lost last season in the title race with 'Sporting'.

MANCHESTER UNITED TRANSFER NEWS IN REAL TIME

Amorim is best known for his work at 'Sporting', a rival of 'Lisbon', with which he won the Portuguese League twice in four years in office.

However, he also achieved success in the league during his playing career, most of which he spent at 'Benfica'.

The midfielder played over 150 matches for the big club, winning the league three times in his nine years there.

The situation with Ruben Amorim at 'Manchester United' suggests possible changes in the club's coaching staff. Given his successes at 'Sporting' and interest from 'Benfica', he is at the center of attention, which may lead to significant changes in the near future. The title race in Portugal may once again lead him back to his home team if the presidential election ends successfully for Lopes.
