What do fans need to know about Amorim?
Since being appointed as head coach of Sporting at the start of 2020, Amorim has won two Portuguese League titles, two Portuguese League Cups and the Portuguese Super Cup.
Given the dominance of Porto and Lisbon rivals Benfica, his record is eye-catching and it would not be surprising if Premier League clubs are considering appointing him.
Amorim held an official interview with West Ham last summer, while he has also been linked with jobs at Chelsea and (more recently) Manchester City.
Who are the other candidates United are considering?
After Gareth Southgate put himself aside to take on another job in the next 12 months, Amorim’s main opponents are likely to be Brentford’s Thomas Tuchel and Thomas Frank.
Give Me Sports claimed that the two trainers were on the list of ten Hag replacements, along with Amorim.
