Why Liverpool snubbed Ruben Amorim as Man Utd bosses make unusual decision

Liverpool considered Ruben Amorim when they were searching for Jurgen Klopp’s successor.

Liverpool snubbed Ruben Amorim as they searched for Jurgen Klopp’s successor last year. And the Reds reportedly opted to look elsewhere after being left unconvinced by the Portuguese’s tactics. They eventually appointed Arne Slot, who won the Premier League title in his first season in England.

Amorim was a man in demand during his time as Sporting boss, with the 40-year-old also linked with West Ham and Manchester City before moving to Old Trafford. He was ultimately prised away from his homeland in November, despite the fact that he was reluctant to join the Red Devils mid-season. But he has struggled in the north west, with United set to record their worst-ever Premier League finish following their disappointment in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening.
