Manchester United Targets Rúben Amorim as Manager

Manchester United's pursuit of Rúben Amorim as their new manager has intensified following the sacking of Erik ten Hag. United are reportedly willing to activate Amorim's €10m (£8.3m) release clause, significantly lower than the fees for other clubs, as they aim to secure the Sporting Lisbon coach, who has led his team to multiple titles since 2020. Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed interim manager as the club seeks a permanent replacement. Amorim's success, including two Primeira Liga titles, has made him a top target for United, who currently sit 14th in the Premier League. Sporting Lisbon is preparing for Amorim's departure by promoting João Pereira, indicating their acceptance of the situation. Amorim has expressed pride in his current role, but it's widely believed he is open to joining United.
