After the Dutchman was fired on Monday morning, United approached Sporting about hiring Amorim as their new manager, and it is believed that negotiations are progressing to replace the 39-year-old Erik ten Hag.
According to Sky Sports News on Monday, the Sporting manager was on the club's shortlist of candidates, and his £8.3 million release clause is not regarded as prohibitive.
