Ruben Amorim’s debut as Manchester United manager has been scheduled following an agreement reached with Sporting Lisbon. This arrangement clears the way for Amorim to take charge at Old Trafford, marking the beginning of his tenure with an upcoming match that’s highly anticipated by fans and analysts alike. Finally our new manager is here 💯🥶 We are about to enter a winning era 🥹🔥 Chelsea is in trouble now 🥹🔥
Manchester United fans will need to exercise patience before officially welcoming Ruben Amorim as the new manager. Although the club reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday, 39-year-old Amorim won’t assume his role at Old Trafford until late November. This decision followed Manchester United’s separation from Erik ten Hag after a disappointing start to the season left them 14th in the Premier League. With Ten Hag’s exit, the club is optimistic about Amorim’s leadership skills to revitalize the team and reverse their performance.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, a well-known figure among United fans, has temporarily taken on the role of caretaker manager. His debut on the sidelines saw United claim an exciting 5-2 Carabao Cup win over Leicester City, reigniting enthusiasm among supporters. Initially, there was hope that Amorim might be available for United’s Premier League match against Chelsea on Sunday. However, due to his contractual obligations and required notice period at Sporting Lisbon, it’s been confirmed that Van Nistelrooy will manage the team for this game and three more before Amorim officially steps in.
Amorim will spend a few more weeks with Sporting as he completes his 30-day notice period. His final games in Portugal include a league match against Estrela da Amadora on Friday, a crucial Champions League game against Manchester City on Tuesday, and a home fixture against Braga on November 10. Following these matches, Amorim will be ready to start his journey in the Premier League, with his anticipated debut for United set for Sunday, November 24, in an away game against Ipswich Town. This matchup will be particularly interesting, as Ipswich’s current manager, Kieran McKenna, is a former Manchester United staff member.
Meanwhile, Van Nistelrooy faces a series of challenging games. After Chelsea, United will take on Greek club PAOK Thessaloniki in the Europa League, where they’re still searching for their first win of the season. This match is pivotal for keeping their European campaign alive.
Discussing his role during this transition, Van Nistelrooy expressed his commitment to helping Manchester United, focusing on establishing a strong foundation for the future. After the Leicester victory, he shared, “I came here to support the club. I’ll contribute however needed. My priority is to help the club build for the future.” His comments indicate that while his position may be temporary, he’s fully dedicated to stabilizing the team ahead of Amorim’s a
rrival.
