Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, head of Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, has placed himself among the interests of Manchester United as a potential candidate to succeed Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim following his departure from managing the English team.

Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, who specializes in transfer market news, revealed that Manchester United made inquiries about Inzaghi's situation following the decision to dismiss Amorim due to the decline in results.

Shira confirmed on his X account that Inzaghi rejected the idea of leaving and preferred to continue with Al Hilal, firmly committed to his current project with the blue team.

Manchester United officially announced last Monday the termination of Robin Amourim's contract, explaining that the decision was difficult but necessary to improve the team's performance.

The statement from the English club indicated that the management aims to give the team a better chance to advance in the Premier League standings by the end of the current season.

Manchester United currently occupies sixth place in the Premier League with 31 points, earned from 8 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses so far.

On the other hand, Inzaghi has been leading Al Hilal since last June and achieved a historic milestone by reaching the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup. He has also managed the team in 26 matches, winning 21, drawing 4, and losing only once, according to Transfermarkt.
