Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim says his future “hasn’t been decided yet” amid interest from Manchester United. Amorim spoke after Sporting’s 3-1 win over Nacional in the Portuguese League Cup quarterfinals and says “nobody knows if this was my farewell match, or if there will be a farewell match.” Hours earlier, Sporting released a statement to the Lisbon Stock Exchange which said it has told United that Amorim has a release clause worth 10 million euros ($10.8 million) in his contract. The Portuguese champions say United “has shown interest” in paying that amount for Amorim. United is looking to replace Erik ten Hag, who was fired on Monday.
