The Times: Manchester United are close to appointing Amorien Van Nistelrooy possibly for just one game[SUCHUNFEI]

The Times reports that United are close to appointing Amorim and that Ruud van Nistelrooy may only lead the team for one game.

Amorim is understood to have been allowed to leave Sporting Portugal for £8.3m. United are close to finalising the appointment of Amorim, with interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy expected to be in charge for just one game.

Ruud van Nistelrooy will lead Manchester United against Leicester in the FA Cup. Then they face Chelsea on Sunday, which could also be Amorim's first game.
