The 41-year-old looks set to sign a two-year deal with the Italian giants.

The move could also potentially save United millions of pounds if Amram does take over.

The compensation he's received since his exit from Old Trafford will be heavily reduced.

The former league-winning manager with Sporting was sacked in January.

Another thing on United today is that Prime Video will follow the club throughout next season with an all-or-nothing Manchester United.

Real Madrid have completed the signing of defender Marc Cucurella from Chelsea.

The fee is €60m.

Madrid confirmed earlier that the Spanish international arrives on a six-year deal to run until 2032.

Cucurella only signed the new deal with Chelsea last summer, which has another three years remaining.

He'll join Jose Mourinho at the Bernabeu after the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager rejoined the club a few days ago.

Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahima Kanate are also expected to move to Real in a major shake-up defensively and it's believed Bernardo Silva is also close to joining.

Cucurea made 150 appearances at Chelsea since his arrival from Brighton in 2022.

He won the Conference League and Club World Cup in 2025 and of course he is part of Luis De La Fuente's Spain squad for this World Cup.

That's about all we have time for in today's World Cup Daily.

I'm Phil Egan.

I'll be back with more tomorrow.
