Manchester United have now agreed a deal with Sporting for the release of Ruben Amorim, who will start his new role in the November international break, according to Laurie Whitwell.
After sacking Erik ten Hag on Monday, United have wasted no time in trying to bring in a new manager. Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge for United’s victory over Leicester City on Wednesday night, but United chiefs were working in the background to get a deal for Amorim done.
As per The Athletic’s Whitwell, United have now agreed a deal to hire Amorim as their new manager after reaching an agreement with Sporting over his release clause. Amorim is set to stay with the Portuguese club for their next three games, including against United’s rivals Manchester City.
