While the Portuguese coach has been revered for his brilliant stint in charge of Sporting, some fans on social media are already dooming the 39-year-old to fail, similar to the other managers who followed on from Sir Alex Ferguson since his retirement.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>One fan, <a href="https://x.com/OG_Mavrickks/status/1852329160191996412" target="_blank">@OG_Mavrickks</a>, does not think Amorim is the right man for the job, as they posted: "He’s not what the club needs. Just another average unproven manager."</p><p>Another user, Arsenal fan <a href="https://x.com/olamijuwon1007/status/1852329069540520071" target="_blank">@olamijuwon1007</a> added: "Good he's out of Sporting before we play them in the UCL. Mid table EPL clubs will humble him at Manchester United 😃."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/_FaridKhan/status/1852319998166909380" target="_blank">@_FaridKhan</a> believes the 39-year-old has taken a step down, saying: "Amorim leaving Sporting for Manchester United is like leaving your Ferrari to drive Toyota!"</p><p>But some users are backing Amorim to succeed. <a href="https://x.com/RomeInTheEast/status/1852319515046256923" target="_blank">@RomeInTheEast </a>posted: "Let’s go!!!! Let’s dust off the epic failure of Ten Hag and back the new man."</p><p>Popular United fan account <a href="https://x.com/UTDTrey/status/1852321164435009839" target="_blank">@UTDTrey</a> turned to rivals Manchester City following the announcement. He said: "I JUST SAW PEP CRYING IN THE CORNER."</p><p>And <a href="https://x.com/Specsavers/status/1852319896291459215" target="_blank">@Specsavers</a> chimed in with their usual joke response, adding: "Welcome to Manchester, Ross Gellar."</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>The United job is arguably the most scrutinised and pressure-heavy position you can pick up in football. Amorim is certainly putting himself in danger by accepting it, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruben-amorim-man-utd-jose-mourinho-sporting/blt88fd209e21217527" target="_blank">if he can get a tune </a>out of the squad then there is potential for him to make a real name for himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Fans will have to wait before they can get their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruben-amorim-man-utd-winners-losers-bruno-fernandes-manuel-ugarte-ineos/bltebfeb9db39de2ffc" target="_blank">first taste of Amorim's United.</a> The Portuguese tactician will officially join on November 11 and his first match in charge will be against Ipswich on November 24.</p>
