Manchester United have moved quickly in their search for a new manager, reportedly approaching Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim after sacking Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag was dismissed on Monday, a day after United suffered their fourth Premier League defeat of the season at West Ham, dropping to 14th in the table. They have won only one of their last eight games in all competitions.
