Former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim faced challenges during his tenure, struggling to connect with fans and balance tactics with player capabilities. However, he is set to rebound as he takes on a prestigious role at one of Europe’s elite clubs.

After being dismissed in January and replaced by Michael Carrick, Amorim was rumored to be a frontrunner for the managerial position at Benfica following Jose Mourinho's departure. Instead, he will be heading to Serie A as the new coach of AC Milan.

• Ruben Amorim is reported to sign a two-year contract with an option for a third.
• AC Milan opted for Amorim after deciding not to extend Max Allegri's contract due to missing out on Champions League football.
• The announcement is expected to be finalized shortly, as confirmed by journalist Matteo Moretto.

This development is particularly significant for Manchester United, who had anticipated a £15.9 million compensation package for Amorim and his staff. With his new appointment, the financial implications for United will be considerably lessened, marking a positive turn in their budget management as they move forward.
