Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim has denied any contact with Manchester United, effectively ending speculation about a potential move. It is now more likely that Amorim will join Liverpool, as they are considering him as a replacement for Xabi Alonso.
Sporting Lisbon have a healthy historic relationship with Manchester United having seen Marcos Rojo, Nani, Bruno Fernandes and, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo make the switch to England. However, it’s fairly unlikely current Sporting manager Ruben Amorim will follow in their footsteps. “I have not been contacted by Manchester United ," he said in November, effectively killing all speculation.
Erik ten Hag may well still be heading out of Old Trafford this summer depending how Sir Jim Ratcliffe deems his two-year tenure. Amorim instead looks most likely to join United’s fiercest rivals with Liverpool pivoting towards the 39-year-old upon Xabi Alonso’s decision to stay at Bayer Leverkuse
