Manchester United are reportedly lining up Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim as a potential replacement for under-pressure boss Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils have endured a turbulent season, and speculation over Ten Hag's future continues to mount.
Amorim, who led Sporting to their first league title in 19 years in 2021, has emerged as a strong candidate. His tactical acumen and ability to develop young talent have caught the eye of United's hierarchy.
Bruno Fernandes Backs Amorim
United captain Bruno Fernandes, who played under Amorim at Sporting, has publicly praised his former manager. "He's a fantastic coach with a clear philosophy," Fernandes said. "His work at Sporting speaks for itself."
Guardiola's Verdict
Even Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has weighed in, describing Amorim as "one of the most exciting young managers in Europe." Guardiola added, "His teams play attractive, attacking football – something United fans would appreciate."
With Ten Hag's position under scrutiny, Amorim could be the fresh start United need. However, prising him away from Sporting won't be easy, with the Portuguese club determined to keep their prized asset.
