Manchester United are edging closer to the appointment of Ruben Amorim, but the head coach is expected to stay at Sporting Lisbon until November’s international break.
The Old Trafford hierarchy unanimously decided to sack Erik ten Hag having decided enough was enough after Sunday’s late loss at West Ham continued their poor start to his third season in charge.
United immediately set their sights on highly-rated coach Amorim and informed Sporting that they would meet his €10 million release clause, sparking negotiations over his exit.
The PA news agency understands a deal is close to being announced, with reports saying a deal until 2027, with the option of a further season, has been agreed.
