Manchester United have once again become the focus of attention in European football, after leaked information from insiders said that new coach Rúben Amorim had an urgent meeting with the team’s scouting department, in which he flatly refused any “short-term contracts” in the upcoming January transfer window.

According to exclusive revelations from sources close to The Sun Football Insider, Amorim made his point clear during a meeting that lasted more than 2 hours at the Carrington training center:

“I didn’t come here to put duct tape on a leaking ship. I came here to build a new ship.”

The “shocking” statement immediately spread across social networks, causing Red Devils fans to explode with hope – and worry. Because clearly, Amorim does not accept the makeshift, patchwork style of football that Manchester United has pursued for many years.

An unnamed club official said:

“He was very polite, but also very firm. He made it clear that if the board only wanted a six-month loan, they would be better off looking for someone else to take charge.”

With United struggling with inconsistent form and an unbalanced squad, Amorim’s comments are seen as the start of a real revolution. He wants players who “can live and breathe the dynamic pressing system” he plans to implement at Old Trafford, rather than stars whose contracts are about to expire and who just come in to get paid and leave.

According to the leak, Amorim has drawn up a shortlist of four players who he believes “have the DNA of the new United” – young, disciplined players who can play in multiple positions.

A United executive member recounted:

“He said he didn’t want players who only played for fame. Amorim wanted people who were willing to sweat, willing to sacrifice, and if necessary – willing to smash the table when they lost.”

What caught the most attention was the brief message Amorim reportedly gave to Sporting Director John Murtough before leaving the meeting room:

“I don’t correct others. I create my own path.”

The quote immediately went viral online, with many calling Amorim “the next Mourinho,” someone who dared to challenge the old Old Trafford system.

However, many experts have warned that Amorim’s overly tough approach could put him at odds with Manchester United’s complex internal structure – where transfer decisions are often driven by commercial and shareholder pressure.

Former player Gary Neville commented on TV:

“If he really said that, I like it. But United will not let a young manager get things under control. They will test his patience in January.”

In any case, one thing is clear: Rúben Amorim is not coming to Manchester to patch up a mess. He is coming to rewrite history.

And if what he says is true – then the upcoming winter transfer window will be the first test of the true strength of the “Amorim dynasty” at the Theatre of Dreams.
