Newly appointed Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is set to begin his tenure on Monday, November 11, after finishing his last game at Sporting with a dramatic 4-2 win over Braga, coming from two goals down.
The Portuguese coach will replace Erik Ten Hag, who was dismissed following United’s challenging start to the season.
During the interim period, Ruud van Nistelrooy has steadied the team, recording three wins and a draw, ending with a commanding 3-0 win over Leicester at Old Trafford.
Amorim’s first training session delayed by Work Permit Hurdles
According to reputable UK Journalist Michal Plant, Amorim is due to take over officially, but a work permit regulation holds him back.
The manager will be in Manchester to start his role, but he will not be able to take training sessions until he gets his visa.
But he can have a team meeting, so he starts to integrate with the squad and get the team ready for his style of play.
Swift Resolution Expected for Amorim’s First Match
Amorim’s full involvement is not expected to be delayed in the work permit process, which is standard.
Amorim is keen to get started immediately, as United are optimistic of a quick resolution to his case, and he will be able to oversee his first game in the position when United take on Ipswich Town on November 24.
Amorim’s arrival has fans hoping it will usher in a new era and a new energy and tactics that will help lift a team eager to bounce back this season.
