Following Manchester United’s thrilling FA Cup triumph over Coventry City in the Championship on Sunday, Erik ten Hag will be looking forward to every game leading up to the finish of the campaign.

The Red Devils trailed the visitors twice during Wednesday’s 4-2 victory against Sheffield United, and a loss would have been the last straw for the Dutchman. As United eventually withdrew, Bruno Fernandes was there to save his employer and his teammates from humiliation once more.

However, the media still seems to agree that Ten Hag’s future as United’s manager is rather questionable because Sir Jim Ratcliffe prefers a more visually appealing style of play.Sir Jim Ratcliffe of Manchester United and Casemiro of the Premier League In light of this, let’s examine a possible successor to the outgoing Ajax coach, who has shown remarkable improvement this year.

The hunt for a new manager at Man Utd TEAMtalk reports that Ruben Amorim is being considered “seriously” to take Ten Hag’s place this summer.

The manager of Sporting CP is one of the most talked-about people on the planet right now, having recently been strongly connected to West Ham and Liverpool.Sporting Lisbon-1’s Ruben Amorim Ratcliffe reportedly drew out a list of several managers, but the Portuguese manager is said to be at the top of the list.

Given that United is considered a “elite club,” Amorim’s release clause might be as low as £8.6 million in summer, which could provide the Red Devils an advantage over some of their rivals. Ten Hag’s comparison with Amorim Amorim’s name is getting a lot of attention, and considering how his Sporting squad has performed this year, it seems sense that teams are eager to get him. The 39-year-old’s football style allows him to win games, which is the most crucial thing for a team like Manchester United, even if he is by no means the most experienced coach in Europe.

With just 13 games under his belt at Braga, the in-demand manager moved to the Lisbon giants and has an amazing record of 146 wins in 208 games. He has even better numbers this season, having won 37 of the 49 games he has managed in all competitions and only losing five times—that is, 12 fewer losses than Ten Hag.

The 13 clean sheets and 27 goals allowed in 30 games indicate that they prioritise a solid defensive base, but the former Braga manager has found the ideal balance.Ruben Amorim for Sporting Lisbon Sporting is by far the best goal-scoring team in Portugal this year, averaging an amazing 2.9 goals per game—1.4 more than United—making his team very hard to beat. One of the main reasons for this is his 3-4-2-1 formation, which allows him to give players in possession freedom thanks to ball-playing stars all over the pitch. Former Sporting star Pedro Porro likened him to Ange Postecoglou in terms of his “ambition” and “clear identity.”ange-postecoglou-premier-league-tottenham (2) The final argument is especially pertinent to Man United right now, given Postecoglou is supposedly also on their shortlist. Legendary former United captain Roy Keane has expressed “real concern” over Ten Hag’s lack of flair and approach. With the support of the new owners, Amorim has the ability to bring back the glory days of Old Trafford, even though a change in the structure would require fresh signings to be guaranteed.
