Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a move for Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim as pressure mounts on current boss Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils have endured a turbulent season, with inconsistent performances and early exits from European competitions raising questions over ten Hag's future.
Amorim's Impressive CV
The 39-year-old Portuguese tactician has earned plaudits for his work at Sporting, leading them to their first league title in 19 years during the 2020-21 season. His attractive, attacking style of play has drawn comparisons with some of Europe's top coaches.
United's Managerial Conundrum
With new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe set to take control of football operations, United appear to be exploring alternatives should they decide to part ways with ten Hag. Amorim's name has now emerged as a serious contender.
The former Benfica midfielder has a €20m release clause in his Sporting contract, which wouldn't be a significant barrier for a club of United's resources.
What Amorim Could Bring to Old Trafford
- Proven track record of developing young talent
- Experience in European competitions
- Attacking philosophy aligned with United's traditions
- Strong man-management skills
While no formal approach has been made, sources suggest United's hierarchy have been monitoring Amorim's progress closely as they consider their options for next season.
