Portuguese football club Sporting have confirmed they have received an approach from Manchester United for their manager, Ruben Amorim.
United sacked their previous coach, Dutchman Erik ten Hag, on Monday.
Amorim led Sporting to their first league title in 19 years in 2021 and repeated the achievement with the Lisbon club last season.
So far this season, his side have won all nine of their league games and are top of their league.
The 39-year-old is one of the most sought-after young coaches in football and had reportedly been in the running to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
Sporting say United have “expressed interest” in paying the €10m release clause in their manager’s contract.
