Man United set to use Liverpool CLAUSE to appoint Ruben Amorim

It's over. Liverpool will no longer be enjoying the Erik ten Hag era.

Instead, it seems like the club's rivals are on the brink of a new era with Ruben Amorim now targeted as United's next manager following the sacking of Ten Hag.

The Portuguese man will be a familiar name to Liverpool supporters. He was heavily linked with the Liverpool job as a potential successor to Jurgen Klopp, but in the end, the club rejected him as a candidate for these key reasons.

Arne Slot ultimately became Liverpool's top priority and the rest is history with the Dutchman having started life brilliantly as the club's new manager.

Amorim meanwhile has stayed put waiting for his big move which could now involve Man United using a clause made available to Liverpool as well.

How Man United will use a Liverpool clause to appoint Ruben Amorim

Manchester United have seemingly accelarated their moves for the highly rated Portuguese man.

It's no surprise. Among the list of candidates, Amorim stands head and shoulders above the rest. He has achieved great success with Sporting CP over the years and is regarded as one of the brightest young minds in football.

Undoubtedly, those are prospects that will be of concern to Liverpool fans. However, the club clearly has some concerns over Amorim, so perhaps there are cracks there to exploit that could be exposed by moving to a bigger club like Man United.

Only time will tell. What we do know is that Man United are keen on his services and are going to be paying a release clause that is only exclusively available to them, Liverpool and a handful of other clubs.

That is according to A Bola who report that Amorim's contract has three variables for his release clause. €30M for Portuguese clubs, €20M for (almost all) foreign clubs and €10M for European football giants.

Those European giants include both Liverpool and Manchester United as well as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Juventus.

That means United will be able to get their man for just £8.4m which seems like a bargain for Amorim.

Will Amorim be a success at Man United?

Only time will tell. United have had a left of false new dawns in their current era since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.

Amorim certainly seems like an exciting appoint for them, and a potentially concerning one for Liverpool.

But we have seen this time and time again. The reality is that the job seems to be cursed and Amorim has a huge task on his hand to turn the club's fortunes around.

He's got the credentials to do it. But at this point, there is no guarantee that he will.

The Sporting CP man has a lot of mountains to climb before he can reach the heights of Liverpool and Manchester City.
