Ruben Amorim, head coach of Portuguese side Sporting, is reported to be the frontrunner.
Potentially in the running to manage Manchester United in the wake of Erik ten Hag's sacking are Ruben Amorim, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Xavi Hernandez.
United are willing to pay his €10 million release clause as the coach is under contract with the Portuguese club until 2026, the report said.The former United forward was a crowd favourite during his time at the club where he scored 150 goals and is no stranger to the dugout having taken the role of assistant coach this season.
The club were in the doldrums following the departure of talisman Lionel Messi but Xavi managed to turn things around with a squad that had a rich mix of experience and youth before he was sacked earlier this year after a season of turmoil. Frank, however, has said he enjoys the freedom he has at Brentford where his style of management is aligned with the club’s leadership and culture so the United project would have to appeal to him if he is to make the switch.
