Manchester United set to appoint RUBEN AMORIM as new manager after ERIK TEN HAG sacking

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 - Man United are closing in on the appointment of Ruben Amorim as manager after Erik ten Hag's sacking.

The Premier League giants are in talks with Sporting Lisbon over Amorim, with the club making quick progress.

Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly expected to only take charge of one match having been placed in temporary charge on Monday following the sacking of Erik ten Hag.

According to the Times, Amorim could be in place for Man United's next Premier League match this Sunday against Chelsea.

Portuguese newspaper A Bola reported that Manchester United will send three officials to Lisbon today to seal an agreement with Amorim immediately after the match.

The report claims Man United are keen to finalise a deal with the hope Amorim could take charge  rather than observe their next Premier League match.

Man United host Chelsea on Sunday at Old Trafford in a high-profile Premier League clash.

The Red Devils will be hoping to recover from their start to the season, with the club languishing in 14th in the table.

Ten Hag oversaw three wins, two draws, and four defeats in the top flight this season prior to his dismissal.
