In an interview, Amorim mentioned that he sometimes feels frustrated with his players and even considers quitting. This has raised questions about his future at Old Trafford.

Amorim's return to Benfica has been linked to the club's presidential election. Joao Noronha Lopes, a candidate for the position, is reportedly monitoring Amorim's situation and is open to adding him to his ticket.

Amorim has a strong connection to Benfica, having won three league titles as a player with the club.

Lopes has stated that he respects Amorim's current contract with Manchester United and does not want to disrupt Benfica's upcoming match.
