Ruben Amorim ‘requests’ Real Madrid pair as Man Utd ready for ‘great investment’ despite PSR concerns

Ruben Amorim has reportedly ‘asked’ Manchester United to make moves for a Real Madrid duo to strengthen his squad at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag received his marching orders on Monday after the defeat to West Ham, their fourth in eight Premier League games this season, which puts them in fourteenth place in the table.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is currently in interim charge and led the Red Devils to a 5-2 win over Leicester in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday which gave food for thought about the future of Casemiro – but won’t be at the helm for too long with United Chiefs working quickly on a deal for Amorim to become the next permanent boss.

“United has reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon on the appointment of Amorim as head coach,” it was confirmed on Thursday.

Details of the deal and when Amorim is likely to ‘first take charge’ of United were also revealed.

As part of the deal, Amorim will remain with Sporting for the next three games, including against Manchester City on Tuesday and Braga on November 10, meaning he will take charge of United for the first time at Ipswich Town on November 24.

‘Sporting were determined to retain Amorim for this crucial period and United have accepted those terms in recognition of the 39-year-old’s status at the Portuguese club and his desire for a smooth exit mid-campaign.
