Manchester United have had a disappointing start to the season, and they could turn to Ruben Amorim to replace Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United recently crashed out of the Carabao Cup, and they are unlikely to be able to compete for the league title this season. Despite substantial backing in the transfer market, Erik ten Hag has failed to get the best out of his new signings and get his team to perform at a high level. There have been rumours that the Dutchman could be sacked. And a report from The Times has claimed that Ruben Amorim is being viewed as a potential replacement.
The 38-year-old Portuguese manager has done quite well for Sporting CP, and his free-flowing attacking approach has been a hit with the Portuguese club. He could prove to be an exciting addition for Manchester United if they decide to part ways with the former Ajax manager.
Erik ten Hag impressed with his management last season, and Manchester United managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. There is no doubt that he is a quality manager. So, the Red Devils might need to be patient with him.
The players are clearly underperforming this season, and Erik ten Hag will have to get the best out of his squad in order to hold on to his job. A club of their stature is expected to compete for major trophies every season.
But Manchester United are looking like a mid-table side so far this season. It will be interesting to see if the Dutchman can turn things around in the coming months and get Manchester United back to their best.
Amorim has proven himself in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and the opportunity to showcase his ability in the Premier League will be an attractive option. The 38-year-old is likely to be attracted to the idea of coaching one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Erik ten Hag will certainly hope that the club hierarchy remains patient with him and gives him the opportunity to make amends and help Manchester United win major trophies under his management.
