Manchester United is in final discussions with Sporting Lisbon to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new manager following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal. Interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to lead only one game before Amorim’s anticipated debut against Chelsea, as officials rush to secure the deal.
Manchester United is reportedly nearing the appointment of Ruben Amorim as their new manager, following the recent sacking of Erik ten Hag. Talks between Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon are progressing, with hopes that Amorim will be in place for their next Premier League clash against Chelsea this Sunday.
For now, interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to lead the team for a single game, though United is working to expedite an agreement with Amorim. Reports suggest that United officials are traveling to Lisbon to finalize negotiations, aiming for Amorim to be actively managing, rather than simply observing, in time for the Chelsea game.
Manchester United, currently sitting 14th in the league, will look to Amorim to bring fresh strategy and leadership after a challenging season start. Under ten Hag, the team managed just three wins, two draws, and four losses in league play, prompting the leadership change as the club seeks a swift turnaround.
