Rúben Amorim is set to take charge of Manchester United during the November international break, sources confirmed to ESPN. United and the Portuguese champions Sporting CP have made significant progress on an agreement for the departure of their head coach to the Premier League club.

Amorim is set to succeed Erik ten Hag, who was sacked on Monday, as head coach at Old Trafford and would be the sixth permanent appointment in the role since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.

Sources told ESPN that United have triggered the former Braga coach's €10 million ($10.87m) release clause at Sporting, and the English club will also pay compensation to enable a number of Amorim's backroom staff to join him at Old Trafford.

But with the terms of Amorim's contract at Sporting including a 30-day notice period, sources have told ESPN that United will be forced to wait until mid-November for Amorim to formally take charge of the team following Sporting's league game away to Braga on Nov.
