Ruben Amorim has responded when asked about how much transfer influence he will have at Manchester United.

The Ineos regime moved very quickly for Ruben Amorim with Dan Ashworth and Omar Berrada playing a key role in bringing the Sporting Lisbon manager to Old Trafford.

Amorim was given the title of head coach at United rather than the manager which naturally suggests that the Portuguese tacticians will not have as much sway in the transfer market as Erik ten Hag may have had, for example.

With a much more experienced committee in place above the manager, Amorim has been asked whether he will have as much say in transfers as his predecessor had.

After Amorim spoke impressively to United’s in-house media team, it was now the turn of the national press to talk to the former SL Benfica midfielder.

“We have to work together and for that we have to improve the process of recruitment and the data and the profile of the players,” Amorim said.

“I want a strong position on this and I believe the final word should be from the manager. The results are down to me.

“I have to understand the league and when everything is aligned and we all agree when it comes to buying and selling players then I believe I should have a say in this.”

Ruben Amorim has to work with Ineos over transfer deals

One of the major flaws during Ten Hag’s time as United manager was the Dutchman’s transfer targets that he insisted upon at Old Trafford.

An audacious first summer move for Frenkie De Jong fell by the wayside and the Red Devils brought multiple current or former Ajax players.

For Ineos, it is vital that Amorim has his say on transfers but it isn’t solely down to the Portuguese head coach to decide on transfers.

A collegiate approach, similar to how things work at Manchester City with Pep Guardiola, would be the most sensible way to approach things and it appears that Ineos agree with this sentiment.
