United ‘interested in hiring' Amorim, Sporting confirm

After sacking Erik ten Hag on Monday, the Red Devils have moved quickly to identify the Portuguese as the next manager at Old Trafford.

In an official statement, Sporting have notified the Portuguese financial regulator, with the club listed on the stock market, of United’s position as negotiations continue over the €10m (£8.3m) release clause.

The Portuguese champions said: “Manchester United FC expressed interest in hiring coach Ruben Amorim, and the board of directors of Sporting SAD referred to the terms and conditions provided for in the employment contract in force between the company and the coach, specifically for the respective termination clause and for the amount of €10,000,000.00.”

Amorim could now be in place by the time United host Chelsea in Sunday’s Premier League match.
