ESPN's Mark Ogden says Manchester United "would do really well" to replace Erik ten Hag with current Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim.

Ogden said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club: "There's a bit of [Jose] Mourinho about him. He's a real character.

"If they can get him over the line, it would be an extremely good appointment given the situation the club are in.

"He is, however, said to be high on Manchester City's list [should Pep Guardiola leave]. Sporting are at the top of the league in Portugal, they've won nine games out of nine and they haven't lost a game in the Champions League.

"He is very highly rated within Europe and United would do really well to get him."
