Due to the team’s dismal start to the season, Dutchman Ten Hag was fired on Monday.
Amorim, 39, is a well-liked coach who, since joining Sporting in 2020, has led them to two Portuguese league titles, including their first in 19 years.
We don’t know how much has been discussed about Amorim.
Furthermore, it is unclear if other candidates are still in the running for the Old Trafford position.
But Amorim is suddenly emerging as the front-runner.
Portuguese Amorim stated during a press conference on Monday that he was not ready to discuss the Manchester United position, but he was expecting a question about it.
Although United has named Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ten Hag’s assistant, as their interim manager, they have yet to say how long the Dutchman will hold the position or whether he will undoubtedly be present at Old Trafford on Wednesday when they play Leicester in the Carabao Cup.
The club has already decided not to allow Van Nistelrooy to hold a pregame press conference on Tuesday. Following Sunday’s loss to West Ham, Ten Hag discussed the EFL Cup match.
