Rúben Amorim has finally arrived at Manchester United.

Amorim’s signing by United was swift, with all the details finalized within a few days. However, Sporting required that the coach fulfill a one-month notice period before transferring, which is why there was a delay between the agreement and his debut.
During this time, United was led by club legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who was part of Ten Hag’s coaching staff. The former striker took charge for four matches, remaining unbeaten with three wins and one draw, scoring 11 goals and conceding only three. According to British media, Ten Hag wished to be part of Amorim’s new coaching team, but that did not come to fruition.
The Portuguese coach arrives in Manchester after an excellent stint at Sporting, where he played a key role in returning the spotlight to the Lisbon club. He also gave a preview of what he plans to do in England. In a Champions League match against Manchester City, Sporting thrashed United’s biggest rivals 4-1, with three goals from the current sensation, Gyökeres. Lead the pack with ToSport.
