Will Ruben Amorim be in Man Utd dugout vs Chelsea after Blues injury boost?

There is much talk concerning struggling Premier League superclub Manchester United at present. The Red Devils have finally sacked Erik ten Hag, if you weren't aware. Relieving the Dutchman from duty may have taken a while, but couldn't have come at a worse time for the Blues. We aren't predicting an amazing United just yet, although a new manager bounce is likely. So, with much going on behind the scenes at Old Trafford, will Ruben Amorim be in the Man Utd dugout for the Chelsea clash?

In addition to that factor, we briefly check a positive Blues injury report - at last. What are the latest boosts to the squad at Stamford Bridge? Will the boss in west London, Enzo Maresca, have a fully fit roster to select from? Pieces of the puzzle on Fulham Road seem to be being carefully and steadily put into place by the Italian.

The Blues have a pretty tough run of fixtures over the next month or so. Though following that, CFC face more beatable opposition leading up to the festive period. So, for Maresca to have as many stars available to choose from as possible is a great sign.

That's right, the Chelsea head coach confirmed a 'full bill of health' for the English capital team. That is very promising for upcoming matches against the likes of Newcastle United and then Man United. And subsequently Arsenal, Aston Villa and rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Ruben Amorim is set to take over at Manchester United - will the Blues be his first match up?

Sky Sports' chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol claims it is "almost certain" that Amorim shall indeed become the new Man Utd boss. But reliable media have not agreed upon when the installation will actually occur.

Another Sky journalist, Melissa Reddy, suggests Portugal's stock exchange were informed that Man United "were prepared to pay" an £8.3 million release clause by Sporting. It is a stipulation of the Portuguese's current contract.

She added that an agreement is yet to be reached. Although the 39-year-old "could" be in charge of the Red Devils by Sunday. Of course, that is when Maresca's men travel to Manchester.

However, the wanted man himself clarified on Wednesday that nothing has been decided as of now. A solution must apparently be found due to a 30-day notice period. Speculation states negotiations between Sporting and the club from England remain underway.
