Manchester United are close to appointing Ruben Amorim as their new head coach to replace Erik ten Hag. The Portuguese coach was swiftly identified as United's first-choice candidate following the decision to part ways with Ten Hag.

The Red have agreed a deal with Sporting CP to appoint Amorim, although the 39-year-old won't move to England immediately. As part of the agreement with Sporting, Amorim will take charge of Sporting's two league games with Estrela Amadora and Braga as well as the Champions League clash with Manchester City.

Van Nistelrooy will oversee Sunday's Premier League game with Chelsea, Thursday night's Europa League game with PAOK and another home game with Leicester on November 10.
