Man Utd aiming to appoint Ruben Amorim in time for huge Chelsea clash with Sporting CP boss in 'advanced talks' to replace Erik ten Hag

<p>The Portuguese manager has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-appoint-ruben-amorim-manager-sporting-cp-replacing-erik-ten-hag-old-trafford/blt5d6c44c4f1a6e99b" target="_blank">emerged as the favourite to replace Erik ten Hag</a> at the helm and the Red Devils are now in advanced talks to finalise a deal, according to <a href="https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/sporting/detalhe/noticia-record-united-quer-ruben-amorim-em-manchester-no-fim-de-semana?ref=Detalhe_Ultimas" target="_blank"><em>Record</em></a>. The report further claims that United are hoping to complete the move as soon as possible as they want Amorim in their dugout for a crucial Premier League clash against Chelsea on Sunday at home.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Premier League giants are negotiating the final bits of the coach's contract with Sporting CP officials and Amorim's agent Raul Costa, and if possible they will whisk the 39-year-old to Manchester on Wednesday. The Lions have already begun their search for Amorim's replacement and could consider promoting his assistant Carlos Fernandes as the club's new head coach.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p><a href="https://www.abola.pt/futebol/noticias/manchester-united-pode-levar-amorim-por-euro10-m-as-tres-clausulas-do-treinador-2024102819261676075" target="_blank"><em>A Bola</em></a> recently reported that United could appoint the Portuguese coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/special-clause-man-utd-can-appoint-ruben-amorim-without-paying-full-release-clause-sporting-cp-coach/blt813bac3558a0c46c#cs8303fec2f67fb55b" target="_blank">without paying his full €20m release clause</a> because of a variant in his contract which allows top European clubs to sign him for just €10m. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For now, Ruud van Nistelrooy is in charge of the team as interim coach and will lead them in their upcoming fixture against Leicester City on Wednesday in a League Cup round of 16 clash. </p>
