Sporting manager Ruben Amorim may be poised for a significant salary boost if he agrees to take the reins at Manchester United.The 39-year-old, who currently earns around €2.5 million annually in Lisbon, could reportedly see his pay more than triple with a move to Old Trafford.Sporting CP, although reigning champions in Portugal, cannot match the managerial salaries typically offered by Premier League clubs.United, keen on acquiring Amorim's services, are prepared to pay the compensation required by his release clause, which was structured to enable a move to top European clubs like United.Amorim's stock has risen considerably since he led Sporting to break a 19-year league title drought, and his tactical prowess has made him one of Europe's most sought-after young coaches.On Tuesday, he downplayed rumours about his departure despite Sporting CP confirming United had met his release clause."Nothing is decided yet," he told Sport TV after a 3-1 League Cup win over Nacional, adding, "We have to wait… then everything will be clear."United want Amorim to replace Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed after United's challenging season start.
