Sporting Lisbon are doing their best to hang on to Ruben Amorim for as long as possible despite Manchester United's willingness to meet the Portuguese manager's release clause

Manchester United won't have Ruben Amorim in the dugout for the Carabao Cup meeting with Leicester City on Wednesday, and their wait for their new manager looks likely to take longer than first feared.

Additionally, the manager is understood to have a 30-day notice period in his contract with the Lisbon club. Amorim, for his part, indicated "nothing is decided" in the immediate aftermath of his team's Tuesday night victory over Nacional. Speaking to the media after Tuesday's win, Amorim suggested he would be in the Sporting dugout for their match against Estrela da Amadora on Friday. That makes it very unlikely that he'll be at Old Trafford in time for United's Premier League match against Chelsea, even if there appeared to be initial hope that he could be installed by then.

According to O Jogo, though, Sporting may yet let Amorim leave before those 30 days are up. That's because they are said to see the international break as a sensible time to install their new boss, Joao Pereira, the current coach of Sporting's B team, is understood to be the club's preferred option.If Amorim does indeed leave Sporting during the international break, his United tenure would begin with a trip to Ipswich Town on November 24.
