Manchester United to save millions as former manager Ruben Amorim finds next job

Former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim saw his credit take a hit after a difficult spell at Old Trafford, in which he never truly managed to connect with the fans, and couldn’t find a balance between his intentions on the tactics board and the players he had on the pitch. Amorim will be landing on his feet though, with his next spot coming at one of Europe’s most vaunted clubs.

The Portuguese manager has been out of work since being relieved of his duties in January, when he was replaced by Michael Carrick on an interim basis. Amorim was tipped to be one of the coaches that Benfica pursued this summer in their bid to replace Jose Mourinho, but he will instead be heading to Serie A.

As reported by Matteo Moretto, Amorim will become the new coach of AC Milan this summer. The Rossoneri decided not to continue with Max Allegri after missing out on Champions League football this season, and have plumped for the 41-year-old to freshen things up at San Siro. The deal will run for two years with an option for a third.

The move will be welcomed at Old Trafford, and not just out of good grace. The Telegraph say that United had budgeted a £15.9m compensation package for Amorim and his staff. Yet the fact that Amorim will be taking on a new job will significantly reduce the amount they have to pay. 

Amorim seems like a distant memory at Old Trafford this summer, but it will be interesting to see if he can prove that it was a bad fit at United.

Arsenal ready to spend €100m on Arteta’s dream summer signing

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal want to sign Juventus attacking mainstay Kenan Yildiz, as he seeks an upgrade on the left flank.

Kenan Yildiz is widely regarded as one of the best young wingers in the game, and there is no shortage of interest in the services of the Juventus forward. Arsenal are among the clubs after the Turkish gem, who will be looking to further enhance his reputation with impressive performances at the World Cup.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Mikel Arteta considers Kenan Yildiz a dream target to reinforce his attack ahead of next season. While they are yet to make a move for him, they do have a plan in place. The Gunners would be willing to spend around €100 million to sign the Juventus winger.

Kenan Yildiz’s rise to the top

While things didn’t quite work out for him at Bayern Munich, the move to Juventus in the summer of 2022 has worked wonders for him. He started with their Under-19 team but was already playing first-team football within a year.

Despite being just 22, he is already one of the leaders of their attack. Yildiz finished the 2025/26 season with 11 goals and 10 assists in his 47 outings. His impressive performances and massive potential have put him on the wish lists of several top clubs.

Juventus will struggle to keep hold of Yildiz

Aware of the increasing interest in his services, Juventus secured his long-term future with a new deal at the start of the year. However, they will still find it difficult to keep hold of him, as top clubs are ready to break the bank for his signature.

Arsenal consider him a dream target for the summer as they look to conquer Europe, after having won the Premier League last season. Mikel Arteta is looking for an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard on the left, and Yildiz could be the perfect fit. He will help them both in the short and the long run.

They are ready to fork out around €100 million for the 21-year-old, which suggests they are quite serious about their pursuit. While Juvetus will be reluctant to sell, the massive financial offer will certainly make them rethink their stance.
