Manchester United may compete with Manchester City for the services of Ruben Amorim, the manager of Sporting Lisbon.

**Managers React to Tuchel’s Appointment as England Boss**

In a significant shake-up for the England national team, Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the new head coach. This decision has prompted reactions from various quarters of the footballing world. The former Chelsea manager takes over from Gareth Southgate, who stepped down after a disappointing run in international competitions.

**Manchester Clubs Eye Sporting Lisbon’s Amorim**

In the Premier League, both Manchester City and Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Sporting Lisbon’s manager, Ruben Amorim. With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Pep Guardiola at City and Erik ten Hag at United, Amorim has emerged as a potential target for both clubs.

According to *The Express*, City are particularly interested in Amorim as Guardiola contemplates his future at the Etihad Stadium. The 39-year-old has made a name for himself as one of Europe’s most promising young coaches. With Sporting’s director of football, Hugo Viana, set to join City at the end of the season, speculation is rife that Amorim could follow suit.

Meanwhile, United have also placed Amorim on their radar as they prepare for the possibility of Ten Hag’s departure. Despite a rocky start to the season, the Dutchman has been given some leeway to turn things around at Old Trafford.

**Real Madrid to Hold Off on Right-Back Signing**

In Spain, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has indicated that the club will not be looking to replace Dani Carvajal in the January transfer window. The Spanish right-back has been sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a serious knee injury sustained during Real’s 2-0 victory over Villarreal.

The *Evening Standard* reports that Ancelotti is confident in his current squad, stating, “We have Lucas Vazquez, we trust him. Then there’s Eder Militao. I see him well as a right back, yes.” He further added that he has not requested new signings for January, citing the club’s ability to manage similar situations in the past.

**Sunderland’s Rigg Attracts Attention from Top Clubs**

In transfer news, Sunderland’s rising star Chris Rigg has caught the eye of several top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Newcastle United. The talented teenager has made a significant impact since breaking into the first team at the Stadium of Light.

According to the *Mirror*, Rigg is keen to emulate the success of Sunderland academy product Jordan Henderson. At just 15 years old, he became the club’s second-youngest player in history and has since set multiple records, including becoming Sunderland’s youngest-ever goalscorer in the EFL Cup.

**Potter and Howe Snubbed for England Job**

In a surprising turn of events, Graham Potter and Newcastle manager Eddie Howe were not interviewed for the England managerial position, which has now been filled by Thomas Tuchel. The *Sun* reports that Potter, who previously managed Chelsea, was overlooked despite the FA interviewing ten different candidates for the role.

Howe confirmed that he was not approached for an interview, highlighting the competitive nature of the selection process. Tuchel, now the third foreign manager to lead the Three Lions, follows in the footsteps of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. He is now preparing to take the reins from interim coach Lee Carsley.

As the footballing landscape continues to evolve, all eyes will be on how these managerial changes impact their respective clubs and the national team in the coming months.
