Ruben Amorim arrived at Manchester United’s Carrington training complex on Monday afternoon, to officially take over the managerial reins at the club.

Amorim was appointed on November 1 as Erik ten Hag’s replacement, following the Dutchman’s sacking late last month.

United triggered his release clause but Sporting Lisbon only released him after Sunday’s 4-2 comeback win over Braga.

The Red Devils issued a statement relaying that their new head coach boarded a flight from Beja Airport in Portugal to Manchester in the morning.

United note that Amorim was received at Carrington by chief executive Omar Berrada, who gave him a warm embrace as he starts work at Old Trafford.

Also present to greet him were sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox, as seen in the images below.

Amorim’s first match as United gaffer will be on November 24, when the Reds make their way to Portman Road to take on Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town.

He has just under two weeks to prepare for that game.

A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that the 39-year-old will not be able to oversee training sessions with the players due to a visa issue.

United are yet to receive the green light although that is expected to arrive swiftly.

Meanwhile, the club recently confirmed that Ruud van Nistelrooy, who served as caretaker boss for the last four games, has permanently left.

Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also parted ways with United.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs [via X], they will be replaced by Carlos Fernandes, Adélio Cândido, Jorge Vital, Emanuel Ferro and sports scientist Paulo Barreira.
