Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy reacts to his first win against Leicester in the Carabao Cup, highlighting the on-pitch presence of Casemiro

The incoming manager wants to bring first-team coaches Emanuel Ferro, Adelio Candido and Carlos Fernandes, goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital and sports scientist Paulo Barreira with him.

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot, speaking after Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup victory over Leicester, says the squad will be ready for any possible appointment of Ruben Amorim as their new manager

However, they have been determined to keep him for as long as possible and United have the comfort of Van Nistelrooy in interim charge in the meantime.

A former Benfica and Portugal midfielder, Amorim retired as a player in 2017 and just two years later he took up his first managerial job at Braga.

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz takes a closer look at how Manchester united may line-up if Ruben Amorim were to take over at Old Trafford

Sky Sports’ Adam Bate:

It has long been inevitable that Ruben Amorim would take one of Europe’s biggest jobs. Winning the title with Sporting in 2021 at the age of 36 all but guaranteed that. Repeating the feat last season only underlined his ability as a coach.

Sporting recognised that this was a special talent very early, famously paying a huge release clause after his spectacular start at Braga. They bet on his tactical mind, his fierce commitment as a player, but more than anything on the power of his personality.

In conversation with a series of Portuguese coaches, some of whom have pitted their wits against Amorim in his native country, we will explore his rise, what it is that makes him so impressive as a coach, and, crucially, whether this can be translated into his next job.
