Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford as the club reportedly considers a managerial overhaul, with Sporting CP's Ruben Amorim emerging as a top candidate to replace Erik ten Hag.
The England international, who has struggled for form this season, could be part of a major squad reshuffle if the Portuguese tactician takes charge. Amorim, who led Sporting to a Primeira Liga title in 2021, is highly regarded for his attacking philosophy and man-management skills.
Ten Hag Under Pressure
Erik ten Hag's position has come under scrutiny following a disappointing Premier League campaign. Despite winning the Carabao Cup last season, inconsistent performances and early exits from European competitions have raised questions about his long-term suitability.
Amorim's Rising Stock
Ruben Amorim has attracted attention from several top European clubs after transforming Sporting into title contenders. His 3-4-3 system and emphasis on youth development align with United's traditional values, making him an appealing option for the Red Devils' hierarchy.
Rashford's Crossroads
Marcus Rashford, once considered untouchable at United, now faces a pivotal moment in his career. The 26-year-old has scored just eight goals in all competitions this season - a stark contrast to his 30-goal haul last term. A new manager could either reignite his form or accelerate his departure.
Paris Saint-Germain have previously shown interest in the academy graduate, and a summer move could materialise if Amorim prefers different attacking options.
What Comes Next?
With United likely to miss out on Champions League qualification, the summer promises significant changes. The club's new minority owners, INEOS, are expected to back their chosen manager in the transfer market, potentially making this one of the most transformative off-seasons in recent memory.
