Sporting CP have confirmed that Manchester United will pay Ruben Amorim’s €10m (£8m/$11m) release clause to appoint him as their new manager.
Sporting CP have issued a statement confirming that United will pay the €10m release clause in Amorim’s contract as they bid to appoint him as the replacement for the sacked Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman was relieved of his duties earlier this week and the club have moved quickly as they attempt to secure a successor.
Sporting’s statement read: “Manchester United FC expressed an interest in hiring coach Rúben Amorim, with the Board of Directors of Sporting SAD referring to the terms and conditions set out in the employment contract in force between the Company and the coach, specifically the respective termination clause and the amount of Euro 10,000,000.00;
Manchester United FC expressed an interest in paying Sporting SAD the amount of the aforementioned clause.”
Amorim has been linked with many big jobs including Liverpool but he seems to be set for Old Trafford top job.
