Ruben Amorim has officially embarked on his journey as Manchester United’s new manager, conducting his inaugural training session at Carrington following the approval of his visa. As reported by ESPN, the 39-year-old oversaw the training on Monday, just weeks after being named as Erik ten Hag’s successor.
Present at the session were key United players not involved in international duty, including Marcus Rashford and Casemiro. Additionally, most of Amorim’s newly appointed backroom staff have reportedly received their work permits, enabling them to support the Portuguese coach as he tackles the significant task ahead.
Amorim steps into a challenging role with United currently positioned 13th in the Premier League, struggling to find the back of the net and lacking a cohesive playing style. Quick results will be essential to ease pressure and instill confidence in both the team and its supporters.
A former midfielder who made his mark at Benfica and earned 14 caps for Portugal from 2010 to 2014, Amorim also played alongside club legend Cristiano Ronaldo during their international careers. His successful tenure at Sporting CP has added to the anticipation surrounding his strategies to revive Manchester United’s fortunes.
Amorim’s contract runs through 2027, and he is expected to face the press for the first time later this week. This comes just ahead of United’s upcoming league fixture against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Saturday. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Amorim takes the first steps in what many hope will be a transformative era for the club.
