Rúben Amorim has emerged as the favorite to take over as Manchester United's manager following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag.
The 39-year-old Amorim has seen his stock grow across Europe after four successful seasons in Portugal managing Sporting Lisbon. Before Liverpool appointed Arne Slot as Jürgen Klopp's replacement, there was talk that Amorim was a candidate. With the news that Sporting's soccer director Hugo Viana could slide into Txiki Begiristain's role at Manchester City come season's end, rumors circulated that Amorim could eventually replace Pep Guardiola.
