Manchester United are in talks about appointing Sporting manager Ruben Amorim as Erik ten Hag's replacement.

Dutchman Ten Hag was sacked on Monday following the side's poor start to the season.

Amorim, 39, is a highly regarded coach who has won two Portuguese league titles with Sporting - including their first in 19 years - since joining in 2020.

The extent of the talks over Amorim are not known.

It is also not clear whether other alternatives remain in the frame to take the Old Trafford job.

However, Amorim is now becoming the leading candidate.
