Erik ten Hag, the current manager of Manchester United, is facing increased scrutiny following a disappointing start to the season, culminating in a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. Reports suggest that Manchester United is actively considering potential replacements for Ten Hag, with Ruben Amorim and former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane being shortlisted as candidates.
Amorim, who was previously on Chelsea’s managerial shortlist, expressed that he has a vision for his future at the end of the current season. However, he has emphasized his commitment to respecting his contract with Sporting, which is valid until 2026.
After Sporting’s 4-2 victory over Farense in the Portuguese League Cup, Amorim was asked about Manchester United’s interest. He replied, “This year I’m not going to go back to the same conversation as last year. I’m not going to make any kind of comment on these situations.”
When further pressed about a potential move to Manchester United during his post-match press conference, Amorim stated, “We don’t know the future; it depends on the results. It has more to do with the general idea of what we need as a team, extra pressure so we don’t hide. Regarding the future, I have an idea for the end of the season but I won’t say it now. But the results and the context take us to something different. I don’t want to be commenting on these things. I have not been contacted by Manchester United.”
