Manchester United in Talks with Ruben Amorim

Manchester United's recent sacking of manager Erik ten Hag has prompted speculation about Sporting CP's Rúben Amorim as his potential successor. Amorim has led Sporting to two consecutive league titles and an impressive start to the current season, winning all nine games while scoring 30 goals and conceding only two. Reports suggest United is prepared to activate Amorim's €20 million release clause and has made him their top target. Should Amorim accept the offer, it could impact rival clubs, with Manchester City eyeing former Liverpool player Xabi Alonso as a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola. Amorim's coaching reputation has soared due to his ability to develop young talent and achieve success on a limited budget, making him one of Europe's most sought-after managers. The situation remains fluid as interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy potentially leads the team until Amorim's appointment is finalized.
