Manchester United’s hopes of appointing Rúben Amorim as their manager have increased with Sporting agreeing a deal with João Pereira to take over from the 39-year-old.
The Premier League club entered talks with Amorim’s representatives after sacking Erik ten Hag on Monday, with a three-year deal worth about £6.5m a season on the table. Amorim has a release clause of £8.3m for “a big club” and double that for a lesser club.
