Ruben Amorim Poised to Lead Manchester United

Ruben Amorim is expected to become the manager of Manchester United, following Erik ten Hag's sacking. The club is negotiating with Sporting Lisbon, prepared to pay a €10 million release clause. Previously, Amorim led Sporting to two Primeira Liga titles and was linked to Liverpool and West Ham roles.

Ruben Amorim is gearing up to take over as the manager of Manchester United, as the Premier League club is ready to pay Sporting Lisbon the €10 million release clause, according to a statement from the Portuguese club on Tuesday.

This development follows the sacking of Erik ten Hag, with United struggling in a disappointing 14th position in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim, who recently led Sporting to Primeira Liga glory, is in talks to finalize his staff and salary with United, aiming to be in charge for the upcoming match against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

In addition to Amorim's impressive track record, he has previously been courted by clubs such as Liverpool, where he was nearly hired instead of Arne Slot, and West Ham United. As a former Benfica midfielder known for a dynamic style of play, Amorim's potential appointment sparks hope for a return to Manchester United's glory days.
