Manchester United Advances Talks for Ruben Amorim

Following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United is in advanced negotiations to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new manager, with an agreement on his €10 million release clause from Sporting CP. Although Amorim has expressed interest in the role, his start date may be delayed due to a notice period in his current contract, potentially pushing his debut until late November. Former United coach Mike Phelan emphasized the need for Amorim to establish a clear style of play quickly to succeed, something Ten Hag struggled with. Meanwhile, interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to lead the team in the upcoming matches against Chelsea and others. United's performance has been lackluster this season, currently sitting 14th in the league, intensifying the urgency for a new leadership approach. Sporting confirmed United's interest but did not officially accept the advances yet, indicating ongoing discussions about Amorim's transition.
