Manchester United are closing in on the appointment of Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese will be the latest manager to try and turn fortunes around at Old Trafford. Amorim will be the sixth permanent boss at M16 since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.

And the 39-year-old will expect Ineos to back him in the transfer market as he seeks to return United to the top of English and European football. TEAMtalk reports that Amorim has already began discussing his transfer aspirations with the club’s board.

Four players ‘don’t interest him’, according to reports, and he intends to sell them in January. They allege Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof are not part of Amorim’s long-term strategy. Both players’ contracts are set to expire next summer.

The incoming manager is likewise eager to relieve Casemiro and Antony. Both players were recruited to Manchester for high salaries but have failed to live up to their expectations.
