Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim has sent the rumour mill into overdrive after being spotted wearing a GPS tracking device during a Manchester United training session.
The 39-year-old Portuguese coach, who has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford, was seen observing United's preparations while sporting the high-tech gadget typically used by coaching staff to monitor player performance.
What Does This Mean for United's Future?
Amorim's appearance at Carrington has intensified speculation that he could be in line to replace Erik ten Hag should the Dutchman's position become untenable. The former Braga manager has impressed with his work at Sporting, leading them to a Primeira Liga title in 2021.
The GPS Gadget Mystery
While the presence of the GPS device has raised eyebrows, sources suggest it may simply be standard practice for visiting coaches to wear such equipment when observing training sessions at top clubs.
However, the timing of Amorim's visit – coming amid growing pressure on ten Hag following United's inconsistent start to the season – has led many to believe this could be more than just a routine observation.
Amorim's Rising Stock
The young manager has developed a reputation as one of Europe's most innovative coaches, implementing an attacking style of play that has drawn comparisons with Pep Guardiola's methods.
His potential availability has reportedly put several top European clubs on alert, with United appearing to be at the front of the queue should they decide to make a change.
For now, all eyes remain on Old Trafford as the saga continues to develop behind the scenes.
