Manchester United have reportedly made a move to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new manager after sacking Erik ten Hag earlier on Monday.

Ten Hag was dismissed after United suffered their fourth Premier League defeat of the season on Sunday at West Ham, dropping to 14th in the table.

They have won only one of their last eight games in all competitions. Reports on Monday evening suggested the Old Trafford club were moving quickly to replace Ten Hag and were willing to pay the €10 million euros (£8.3m) release clause to secure 39-year-old Amorim, whose Sporting Lisbon side sit top of the Portuguese table.

United declined to comment when contacted by the PA news agency. Amorim has won two Portuguese titles and two League Cups with Sporting since joining the club in March 2020.
