Nani has already told Man United what they are getting with Ruben Amorim
Manchester United icon Nani has already told his former club what to expect from former Portugal teammate Ruben Amorim as he closes in on a move to Old Trafford.
It is only a matter of days until United appoint Amorim as the successor to Erik ten Hag after the Dutch's sacking on Monday. Sporting Clube de Portugal confirmed in a statement United's intention to trigger the 39-year-old's €10million (£8.3m) release clause.
The Manchester Evening News revealed on Monday night that the Portuguese boss had an agreement in principle to become the Reds' next manager. Amorim began his coaching career with Casa Pia, where he had a brief stint during the 2018/19 season before he joined SC Braga and guided them to the Portuguese League Cup in his debut campaign.

After only a season with Braga, Sporting appointed him as their manager that same year. The 39-year-old then ended the Lions' 19-year wait, winning their first league title and began to make a name for himself in Portugal.
In his four years at Estadio Jose Alvalade, Amorim has won two league titles with Sporting, three cups and one Super Cup. The success in his homeland did not go unnoticed with clubs abroad, and the likes of West Ham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have previously been linked with the Portuguese.
Nani, meanwhile, missed out on the opportunity to play under Amorim at Sporting but shared the pitch with him for the Portugal national team. Having watched Sporting closely over the years, he has grown an admirer of his former teammate.
Speaking about the work achieved in Lisbon, Nani previously told A Bola: "The success of Sporting was their leadership, and you can see it in the club's posture.
"I never witnessed his lecture or his training session, but you can feel that he has a strong personality and connection with the players. This comes from good leadership."
