Sporting CP coach Amorim on Man Utd radar | OneFootball

Sporting CP's young boss Ruben Amorim is on the radar of Manchester United.

Mauricio Pochettino, Brendan Rodgers and Erik Ten Hag remain the leading candidates to become full-time boss at Old Trafford after Ralf Rangnick's short-term reign.

There is also the chance that Rangnick — set to be announced as interim manager this week — could gain a longer term deal at Old Trafford.

But United, plus a host of European giants, are monitoring Amorim, 36, and his progress closely, says The Sun.

The former Portugal midfielder led Sporting to their first league title for 19 years last ­season.

And last week's win over Borussia Dortmund took the club into the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in 13 years.

Sporting forked out £8.4million compensation to fellow Portuguese club Braga to poach Amorim last year.

He signed a new deal in March that increased his release clause from £16.8m to an astonishing £25.2m.
