Manchester United strip new boss Ruben Amorim of transfer power

Manchester United’s hiring of Ruben Amorim is more than just a change in management; it’s a major shift in club culture.

Amorim is taking on the unprecedented role of “head coach” rather than “manager,” marking a departure from the all-powerful, all-encompassing role that Erik ten Hag held.

Under United’s new football structure, introduced after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS acquisition and now led by sporting director Dan Ashworth, Ruben Amorim will focus solely on coaching, with recruitment decisions out of his hands.

This move signals United’s commitment to a more modernized, collaborative approach, resembling setups seen in European giants.

While Ten Hag held veto power over transfers, Amorim will work within a team-driven framework, depending on the recruitment department to handle player signings. Such a drastic restructuring could be exactly what United need to end years of big spending with little success on the pitch.

Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if this streamlined, coach-centered model can reinvigorate a struggling United squad.

With Ruben Amorim set to kick off his tenure during the international break, his November 24 debut against Ipswich Town will be the first glimpse of how these new dynamics play out on the field.
