Man United Appoint Ruben Amorim As New Manager

Ruben Amorim has been confirmed as Manchester United’s new manager.

The Portuguese head coach will take charge of the Premier League club on November 11.

It comes after Erik ten Hag was sacked on Monday after the Old Trafford hierarchy unanimously decided enough was enough as Sunday’s late loss at West Ham continued their poor start to his third season in charge.

United set their sights on highly-rated Sporting Lisbon head coach Amorim and have now confirmed a deal has been struck to bring him in on a deal until June 2027, with the option for a further year.

The 39-year-old will start work with the Red Devils on Monday, November 11 having overseen the Portuguese champions’ three remaining matches before the international break.

United, who confirmed Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue as interim manager until Amorim’s arrival, said: “Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements.
