Manchester United sacked Erik ten Hag on Monday and are trying to appoint Ruben Amorim as their next manager, so stay with TEAMtalk for all the latest updates.

Ten Hag has been under pressure for months and the final straw was the 2-1 defeat to West Ham at the weekend, which prompted Man Utd to sack him and put Ruud van Nistelrooy in temporary load.

However, Man Utd are already looking for a new appointment and Sporting CP boss Amorim is the one they are currently looking for.

Several alternatives have been mentioned before, but at the moment all the attention seems to be on Amorim, a coach who won the Portuguese league title twice with Sporting.

Amorim was linked with jobs at Liverpool and West Ham earlier this year, but it would be Man Utd who take him to the Premier League – barring, of course, any twists and turns.

The fact that he is currently employed by another club is the main obstacle they will have to overcome, so follow our live blog below for the latest on their negotiations to bring in Amorim – as well as for reaction big news about Ten witches be sacked.
