Manchester United are reportedly continuing in talks with Sporting Lisbon over hiring Ruben Amorim as their next manager following yesterday’s sacking of Erik ten Hag.
According to Ben Jacobs, it seems Man Utd are set to benefit from a “pact” that allows them to pay just €10m to Sporting for Amorim, who can leave the Portuguese giants for cheaper if a top club comes calling.
See below for details as Jacobs provides his latest info on X, formerly Twitter, explaining that talks are ongoing over Amorim in what looks like a bargain for the Red Devils for an elite young coach…
Sporting sources say Ruben Amorim’s release clause is €20m, but with a pact that top European clubs will only have to pay €10m. Manchester United prepared to pay compensation and club-to-club talks ongoing.
