Man United appoint 39-year-old Ruben Amorim as new manager

 Manchester United have appointed Ruben Amorim, Portuguese
coach, as the club’s new manager.

 

The Red Devils announced Amorim’s arrival in a statement on
the club’s website on Friday.

 

The manager joined United from Sporting Lisbon and penned a
three-year deal to manage the club with an option of an additional year.

 

However, the Portuguese coach is not expected to join United
immediately due to work visa requirements. He is billed to resume at Old
Trafford on November 11.

 

Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue as United’s interim
manager until Amorim’s arrival.

 

United sacked Erik Ten Hag as the club’s manager on October
28 following a 2-1 loss to West Ham.

 

The defeat was the United’s fourth in the English Premier
League (EPL) this season, and they slipped to 14th place on the log.

 

The team also remain winless in the Europa League with three
draws from as many games. They are rooted in the 21st position of 36 teams in
the Europa League log.

 

Amorim is saddled with the responsibility of rejigging and
correcting the wrongs in the team that made Ten Hag’s tenure unimpressive.

 

The 39-year-old is considered one of Europe’s most promising
managers. He won the Primeira Liga twice in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon — the
first of which was the club’s first title in 19 years.
