Sporting Lisbon has reportedly identified the successor to Ruben Amorim should their manager complete a move to join Manchester United.
Man United entered talks on Monday for Amorim after the Red Devils announced the dismissal of Erik ten Hag.
Mail Sport revealed last week that Amorim was one of four targets if Ten Hag was axed, and United announced on Monday morning that the Dutchman’s two-and-a-half-year reign at Old Trafford was over.
The 39-year-old, who was interviewed over the managerial vacancies at Liverpool and West Ham earlier this year, is said to be open to a move to Old Trafford.
