Manchester United have approached Sporting over appointing head coach Ruben Amorim as their new boss.
Talks are thought to be ongoing over making the 39-year-old Erik ten Hag's successor after the Dutchman was sacked on Monday morning. United would need to pay the Portuguese's Sporting release clause - and it is understood they are prepared to do that.
A former Benfica and Portugal midfielder, Amorim retired as a player in 2017 and just two years later he took up his first managerial job at Braga. He then joined Sporting in March 2020 where he has established himself as one of Europe's most sought-after young coaches. Why Man Utd are in talks with Amorim Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol: 'Amorim was linked with the West Ham job, the Liverpool job and there is even talk of him being a Manchester City manager one day.
