ESPN’s Mark Ogden says Manchester United “would do very well” to replace Erik ten Hag with current Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim.

Ogden said on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club: “There’s a bit of (Jose) Mourinho about him. He’s a real character.

“If they can get him over the line it would be a very good appointment given the situation the club finds itself in.

“However, he is said to be high on Manchester City’s list (in the event of Pep Guardiola’s departure). Sporting are top of the league in Portugal, having won nine games out of nine and losing none. match since.

“He’s highly rated in Europe and United would do really well to have him.”
