Ruben Amorim press conference LIVE Manchester United boss outlines tactics, aims and shares team news

Ruben Amorim will face the media as Manchester United head coach for the very first time at Carrington this afternoon to look ahead to Sunday's trip to Ipswich Town.

The 39-year-old, who was appointed as Erik ten Hag's successor on November 1, arrived in England on November 11 and started work on the training ground with his players at the beginning of this week.

The former Sporting Lisbon chief, who is keen to install a new identity at Old Trafford, will be itching to make a winning start at Portman Road this weekend and begin the process of turning United's fortunes around.

United did not present Amorim to the media at an official unveiling after his arrival in England last week, meaning his pre-match press conference this afternoon will be his first meeting with the British media.

As a result, he is expected to be quizzed on a wide-range of topics, as well as issuing an update on the latest team news and looking ahead to the trip to Portman Road.
