Ruben Amorim has been confirmed as Manchester United's new manager, just four days after the club sacked Erik ten Hag. The Portuguese manager will take charge of the club on November 11 after a successful four years in charge of Sporting CP that saw him win two Portuguese Primeira Liga titles.
He now will make the move to Old Trafford during the November international break, meaning Ruud van Nistelrooy will remain in interim charge of the club for the next three matches against Chelsea, PAOK and Leicester City.
