Specifically, the Philippines team is the first team that will likely not have the services of some key players at the 2024 ASEAN Cup.

MU pays Amorim a huge salary

MU did not hesitate to invest a large sum of money to get the signature of talented coach Ruben Amorim.

According to A Bola, Manchester United are paying coach Ruben Amorim a salary of up to 8 million euros (equivalent to 6.7 million pounds), nearly three times his current income at Sporting Lisbon, which is said to be around 3 million euros (2.5 million pounds) a year.

However, this salary is not as much as Erik ten Hag. Before leaving Old Trafford, the former Ajax coach was paid around €10 million (equivalent to £9 million) a year. The "Red Devils" spent €16 million in compensation for Ten Hag over the remaining 20 months of his contract, which expires in June 2026.

Returning to Amorim, he will sign a 2.5-year contract with the option of a 1-year extension. However, this talented coach will not take over the hot seat at Old Trafford immediately. It is expected that he will only be able to lead the "Red Devils" in the first match against Ipswich Town on November 24.

At 39, Amorim has established himself as one of the most talented young coaches in Europe. After leading Sporting Lisbon to the 2020/21 national championship, he is currently leading the Portuguese table this season with a perfect record of 9 wins./.
