Manchester United are reportedly plotting a major summer shake-up, with Sporting CP's highly-rated manager Ruben Amorim emerging as a prime candidate to replace Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils are also keeping tabs on Brentford's dynamic forward Bryan Mbeumo as they look to bolster their attacking options.
Amorim Tipped for Old Trafford Hotseat
The 39-year-old Portuguese tactician has impressed with his work at Sporting, leading them to a Primeira Liga title in 2021 and establishing them as consistent title challengers. His progressive, attacking style of play has caught the eye of United's hierarchy, who may be ready to move on from Ten Hag after a disappointing season.
Mbeumo on United's Radar
Meanwhile, Brentford's Cameroonian international Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly been identified as a potential target to strengthen United's frontline. The 24-year-old has been in fine form this season, contributing 15 goals across all competitions for the Bees.
With Antony failing to justify his £85m price tag and Jadon Sancho's future uncertain, United could see Mbeumo as a more cost-effective option to provide competition for Rasmus Hojlund.
Summer of Change at Old Trafford
These potential moves signal what could be a transformative summer for the 20-time English champions. With new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe keen to make his mark, United appear ready to make significant changes both in the dugout and on the pitch.
Whether Amorim would be willing to leave Sporting remains to be seen, particularly with the Lisbon club currently top of the Portuguese league. Similarly, Brentford would likely demand a substantial fee for Mbeumo, who still has three years remaining on his contract.
