The Red Devils must reach an agreement with Sporting
Mentor Sporting Ruben Amorim gave preliminary consent to lead Manchester United.
The coach likes the Red Devils’ project and the terms of the deal. However, now everything depends on negotiations between the clubs.
Ruben has been heading the Lisbon club since 2020. Sporting under his leadership became twice champions and won the Portuguese Cup twice. Last season, the Green-Whites overtook Benfica to claim their 20th league title in history.
It was previously reported that Amorim is on Manchester City’s list of interests if Pep Guardiola leaves. However, back in mid-October, Manchester United made a specific request to Sporting about the transfer of a coach.
The 39-year-old Amorim’s contract, which runs until 2026, includes a €20 million buyout clause next summer. Now the parties are engaged in a dialogue about compensation that is two times less than what is specified in the contract – 10 million euros.
Manchester United announced the dismissal of head coach Erik ten Hag on Monday. Ten Hag’s assistant, ex-Manchester United forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, has been appointed interim coach of the Red Devils.
In the Premier League standings, Manchester United is in 14th place with 11 points. The Red Devils next face Leicester in the Carabao Cup on October 30.
