Sporting CP’s coach Amorim admitted the two clubs were in talks but did not confirm his intention to move to Man United.
Football coach Ruben Amorim has denied talks of a deal with Manchester United that could see him become the next manager of the Premier League club after his current employers Sporting CP announced that United were prepared to pay the Portuguese club his $10.79m release clause for a move to the United Kingdom.
Amorim said on Tuesday that “nothing is decided yet” after United made him their top target to replace sacked manager Erik ten Hag and a statement issued by Sporting to the Lisbon stock exchange said United were willing to meet his release clause.
The 39-year-old was guarded when asked after Sporting’s League Cup win against Nacional if that was his last match with the Portuguese club.
“Nobody knows whether this was my farewell match. Nothing is decided yet,” he said, reported by sports daily A Bola.
Reports in British media indicated that United would have liked the Portuguese coach to be in place for their league game against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday, but Amorim did not want to confirm anything.
