Ruben Amorim appointed as Man United New Head Coach.
The 39-year-old Portuguese, who will move to Old Trafford from Lisbon club Sporting on 11 November, has signed a contract until June 2027.
Former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who took charge on an interim basis after Erik ten Hag was sacked on Monday, will stay on for the club’s next three fixtures.
Amorim, is the sixth permanent manager United have appointed since Sir Alex Ferguson’s 26-year reign ended with his retirement in 2013.
In a statement, the club said that
“Ruben is one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football”.

Earlier in the week, Sporting said that United had agreed to pay 10m euros (£8.3m) to trigger a release clause in Amorim’s contract.
