Ruben Amorim has promised to clarify his future after Sporting Lisbon’s match on Friday evening as the highly-rated head coach’s move to Manchester United edges closer.

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 Amorim and informed Sporting that they would meet his 10million euros (£8.4m) release clause, sparking negotiations over the terms of his exit.

The PA news agency understands a deal is edging closer, with the coach promising to clarify his future after leading the Portuguese champions against Estrela da Amadora on Friday night. “It is a negotiation between two clubs,” Amorim said in English at Sporting’s pre-match press conference. “It’s never easy.
