Former Man Utd boss names Premier League job he wants in the future as Bayern Munich eye Ruben Amorim favourite

Manchester United icon Ruud van Nistelrooy will take interim charge of the Red Devils for the final time when they host Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The legendary striker is yet to lose any of his three matches in charge and will hope to leave Manchester United in the best place possible in the run-up to Ruben Amorim’s imminent arrival from Sporting Lisbon.

Manchester Evening News understands that the players are hugely excited about the prospect of working with the Portuguese coach and add that many of the team remain optimistic about the club’s chances of winning silverware and having a successful season.

Amorim ended his Sporting tenure with a remarkable 4-1 victory in the Champions League over Premier League holders Manchester City, adding to the team’s 16 match unbeaten run in the process with Viktor Gyokeres scoring his second consecutive hat-trick to take his overall goal tally to 23 for the season.

The Swedish international is currently viewed as one of the best formidable finishers in world football and too many is seen as the ideal player to solve Manchester United’s goal crisis due to his familiarity with Amorim and his ability to score all types of different goals.

When asked about a potential move for Gyokeres, Amorim was quick to play things down and told TNT Sport: “It was tough for me to leave, if I start joking about that with Gyokeres, I’ll have problems. This is my city, this is my country, I will respect.

“Viktor has to stay until the end of the season and then his life is going, maybe, somewhere else.” 

The 26-year-old is believed to have a release clause of around £83m and is reportedly a player of huge interest to the Red Devils, with both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund struggling for form in front of goal.

However, Sky Germany also understands that Bayern Munich have made enquiries about the Swedish international and adds that they are closely monitoring the situation ahead of a potential summer move.

Reporter Florian Plettenberg understands that he could be allowed to leave for as little as £60-£70m in the summer, which is around the same figure that the Red Devils splashed out on Hojlund around 12 months ago.

Jose Mourinho hints eyes move to Manchester United’s rivals

Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has claimed that he has unfinished business in English football and has reportedly identified Newcastle United as his ideal club to manage in England after previously managing Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea on two occasions, according to The Guardian.

Mourinho, who is currently in charge of Fenerbahce made clear that he was unhappy in Turkey - claiming that the league ‘smells bad’ while questioning why anybody else in Europe would watch it. 

Adding that he wouldn't have taken the job if club officials had told him "the whole truth" about how the league allegedly works.

Mourinho got his first break through into coaching when he worked as an advisor to Bobby Robson at Sporting Lisbon while also following him to FC Porto and Barcelona before forging a career of his own.

In the past the Portuguse coach has described himself as a ‘little Magpie’ due to the close bond he had with Robson. 

However, at this stage Eddie Howe remains committed to his position as manager of the North East club and is currently under contract until 2027, according to The Telegraph.
