Manchester United Eyes Guardiola’s Successor at Man City
Manchester United is reportedly exploring the possibility of hiring Ruben Amorim, the highly regarded manager of Sporting CP, as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils are keen to get ahead of their rivals, Manchester City, who are also interested in Amorim.
Amorim, known for his tactical acumen and success at Sporting CP, is seen as a natural successor to Pep Guardiola at City. However, United’s chances of securing his services depend on Guardiola’s future plans.
If Guardiola decides to leave City next summer, United may face stiff competition from their crosstown rivals.
The presence of Hugo Viana, Sporting CP’s sporting director, at Manchester City could give the club an advantage in the race for Amorim. Viana’s familiarity with Amorim and his connection to City could make it easier for the club to attract the Portuguese manager.
While United is currently focused on improving their performance under Ten Hag, the club is also looking ahead and planning for potential managerial changes. Securing a talented coach like Amorim would be a significant step in ensuring the club’s continued success.
