Sporting are top of the Portuguese league having won their first nine games of the season.
The Manchester Evening News claim that United have already started talks with Sporting and Amorim.
There is a specific release clause that allows a club of United’s stature to bring him in.
Amorim is also Manchester City’s top choice to replace Pep Guardiola, which could complicate the pursuit.
