"I have nothing to say now, we're analysing here. Anything I say will only create more noise," Amorim told a press conference on Tuesday after what many thought would be his last game when Sporting beat Nacional 3-1 in the Portuguese League Cup quarter-final. "I can't promise anything. What I do know is that I'll be at training tomorrow and I'll be preparing for the league game with Estrela da Amadora on Friday."
United's move for the 39-year-old coach came after the team sacked Dutchman Erik ten Hag on Monday with the club languishing in 14th place in the Premier League standings.
