<p>Manchester United finally <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/time-finally-runs-out-for-erik-ten-hag-man-utd-set-to-sack-coach-nightmare-start/bltbc78659f6992704c" target="_blank">parted ways with Erik ten Hag</a> earlier this week after suffering their fourth loss of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign against West Ham last Sunday. With the Dutch manager out of Old Trafford now, Sporting CP's<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-confirms-man-utd-talks-but-insists-my-choice-sporting-cp-future-remains-undecided/blt1170ffe905dd7ce3" target="_blank"> Amorim is poised to become the club's new head coach</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While the Red Devils are in advanced talks with the young Portuguese coach, club legend Scholes has expressed his doubts over the appointment. He also named the manager he would have ideally wanted to take charge of the team. Amorim has proved his worth in Portugal in the last four years having won several trophies, including two league titles.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on <a href="https://m.skybet.com/" target="_blank">The Overlap Fan Debate</a>, the ex-England midfielder said: "I think Thomas Tuchel was the right one to coach Manchester United, but obviously he’s gone now with England. He’s someone that can manage an elite football club and win big games. He’s been there and done it."</p><p>He added: "On Ruben Amorim – [the hype] feels a bit like Erik ten Hag [joined Manchester United]. He’s coming from the Portuguese league which is a bit better than the Dutch league. What he’s done there has been good – he looks charismatic, and he has a bit about him. I know he’s meant to sign in the coming days and hours, but Sporting play Manchester City next week, and Arsenal in the next three or four weeks. It might be a chance to give him a public interview and see how he handles the media, see how his team plays."</p>

WHAT PAUL SCHOLES SAID

<p>United will aim to get back to winning ways on Wednesday as they are all set to face Leicester City in a Carabao Cup round of 16 clash. Until the club finds a permanent head coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy will manage the team on an interim basis.</p>
