Sporting CP believe that Ruben Amorim’s move to Manchester United is a “done deal”, according to Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol.
The Red Devils made their move to appoint the 39-year-old on Tuesday, with the Portuguese club announcing publicly that they had received interest and been informed of the Premier League club’s intentions to pay his £8.3m release clause to take him to Old Trafford.
But the Portuguese coach took charge of Sporting’s National Cup fixture against Nacional on Tuesday night, leading them to a 3-1 victory before admitting that he is still expecting to be in charge of their next game on Friday night against Estrela Amadora.
However, Sky Sports News revealed on Wednesday afternoon that the current Primera Liga champions consider his move to Manchester United to be a “done deal” at this stage and it’s just a matter of signing documents and official announcements being made.
