Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already explained why Man United didn't appoint Ruben Amorim in the summer

Manchester United have got their man, with Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim set to replace the recently-departed Erik ten Hag on November 11.

The Dutchman had come under increasing pressure at Old Trafford following a drop off in form despite nearly £200m worth of talent arriving over the summer transfer window. Ten Hag had weathered the storm earlier in the summer as Ineos completed their review of the club and decided to back the former Ajax man and keep him on following the FA Cup win against Manchester City at Wembley.

Ten Hag discussed his future with the club, and they agreed to extend his contract by another year. In reaction to that news, he said: "We have found complete unity in our vision for reaching those goals, and we are all strongly committed to making that journey together."

Three days after finally becoming United's sporting director, Dan Ashworth said that the club's review of last season "reached a clear conclusion that Erik was the best partner for us to work with". However, those comments were caveated by acknowledging that the same review "highlighted areas for improvement."

He also said the "strengthened football leadership team" was "now in place," but Omar Berrada did not officially start work as chief executive for another nine days. Four months later, multiple outlets are reporting that those two led the recruiting of Ruben Amorim as the club's new head coach.
