Manchester United sacked their manager Erik ten Hag, after the 1-2 loss against West Ham United in the English Premier League
United are in the 14th place in the Premier League points table. They finished eighth in Premier League last season and exited Champions League at the group stage
Appointed in April 2022, ten Hag led United to the League Cup win in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024
United's assistant manager and former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy will be the interim manager
United are, reportedly, in talks with Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim for the manager's role
Amorim, 39, has won two Portuguese league titles with Sporting since joining in 2020
He was tipped to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool before Arne Slot got the job. He also held talks over replacing David Moyes at West Ham but it did not work out
Amorim focuses on a strong defence, flexibility in attack and high possession, and is known to blood young talents
A midfielder in his playing days, Amorim won the league thrice with Benfica. He also represented Portugal in 14 international matches.
