A student of Mourinho - is 'crowd pleaser' Amorim right for Man Utd?

Ruben Amorim learned how to become a football manager during an internship under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United - six years on he is being talked about as the club's potential new manager.

The 39-year-old Portuguese has been coveted by a number of clubs during his short-managerial career in his native country, but Old Trafford could now be the destination for his new challenge.

It emerged on Monday, Manchester United are in talks about appointing Amorim as Erik ten Hag's replacement.

He was heavily linked with Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp's decision to leave the Reds last season, had talks with West Ham about becoming their new boss, and has even been mentioned as a possible successor to Man City's Pep Guardiola.
