Ruben Amorim has been confirmed as Manchester United’s new head coach and will take charge of the Premier League club on November 11.
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.
It's done.
Bem-vindo ao Manchester United, Ruben Amorim 🇵🇹🤝🔴#MUFC
