Premier League manager denies being approached to sign for Benfica

Ruben Amorim denied having been contacted to return to Portugal to coach Benfica , following Bruno Lage’s departure from the Eagles’ technical command. The current Manchester United coach denied any interest and has no intention of leaving the Premier League .

R. Amorim: "There was no contact"

"No. There was no contact. I am the coach of Manchester United and I will continue until something changes . After that, of course, whether it’s next month, tomorrow, or in ten years, I will rest because I deserve it. But there was no contact, none," said the Red Devils’ coach.

In the press conference previewing the match against Chelsea, Ruben Amorim also took the opportunity to highlight, with some humor, that the Reds already have an experienced coach at the helm, referring to José Mourinho: "Now Mourinho is there and he’s going to have fun ", he said.

João Noronha Lopes was recently in Manchester to watch the derby between City and United (3-0). At Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon, upon arrival, he guaranteed that he did not meet with Bernardo Silva or Ruben Amorim , a duo that has been linked to the Reds’ club.
