Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already explained why Man United didn't appoint Ruben Amorim in the summer

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester United have got their man, with Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim set to replace the recently-departed Erik ten Hag on November 11.

The Dutchman had come under increasing pressure at Old Trafford following a drop off in form despite nearly £200m worth of talent arriving over the summer transfer window.

Ten Hag had weathered the storm earlier in the summer as Ineos completed their review of the club and decided to back the former Ajax man and keep him on following the FA Cup win against Manchester City at Wembley.

Ten Hag discussed his future with the club, and they agreed to extend his contract by another year. In reaction to that news, he said: "We have found complete unity in our vision for reaching those goals, and we are all strongly committed to making that journey together."
