The Sporting Lisbon boss has agreed in principle to become Man United's next manager after Ten Hag was sacked on Monday.
Former Valenciennes assistant manager Joao Nuno Fonseca has already offered an insight into the style of play Ruben Amorim could try and implement at Manchester United.
Amorim has a lot of credit in the bank after four successful years at Sporting and is considered to be one of the most promising coaches in European football. He was linked with replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool earlier this year and had been earmarked as a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
A key part of that is Sporting's ability to dictate the play and control matches; they have had 65.11 per cent of possession on average in each of their opening nine league games this term. As a caveat, however, it goes without saying that Sporting are one of the dominant forces in Portugal. "He plays a high defensive line most of the time and is good on transitions. It is still a positive game idea based around ball possession.
