Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a move for Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim as pressure grows on current boss Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils have endured a turbulent season, with inconsistent performances raising doubts over Ten Hag's long-term future at Old Trafford.
Amorim Emerges as Top Contender
Portuguese tactician Ruben Amorim, who led Sporting to their first league title in 19 years in 2021, has caught the eye of United's hierarchy. His attacking philosophy and track record of developing young talent align with the club's vision.
Former United defender Mikael Silvestre recently told Bettingexpert.com: "If Ten Hag leaves, Amorim would be a strong candidate. He's done brilliantly at Sporting."
Ten Hag Under Increasing Pressure
Despite winning the Carabao Cup last season, Ten Hag has struggled to build consistency this campaign. Recent heavy defeats to rivals have intensified scrutiny on his position.
United's new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is believed to be assessing all football operations, with the managerial situation under review.
What Makes Amorim Special?
- Won two trophies in his first full season at Sporting
- Developed several players who earned big-money moves
- Implements an attractive, high-pressing style
- At 39, represents a long-term project
With United potentially needing a fresh start, Amorim's stock continues to rise across Europe. The coming weeks could prove decisive for both him and Ten Hag.
