Amorim faces the challenge of reviving Manchester United's fortunes as he takes over from interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
- Ruben Amorim has been appointed as Manchester United's new head coach, taking over from interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who led the team to three wins and a draw in four matches.
- Amorim arrives from Sporting Lisbon, where he achieved significant success, including winning the Portuguese league title twice, and is set to implement his preferred 3-4-3 formation at United.
- The new manager's first match in charge will be against Ipswich Town on November 24, following the current international break, with a challenging run of 12 games ahead.
- Van Nistelrooy and his coaching staff have departed the club, as Amorim plans to bring his own team from Sporting Lisbon, including assistant manager Carlos Fernandes.
