The Portuguese manager will leave Sporting on November 11 and sign a contract until 2024 with Manchester United. The club have confirmed that Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to take charge until Amorim arrives.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In a club statement, Man Utd said: "Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Rúben Amorim as Head Coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements. He has signed a contract until June 2027 with a club option of an additional year. He will join Manchester United on Monday 11 November once he has fulfilled his obligations with Sporting CP.</p><p>"Rúben is one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football. Highly decorated as both a player and coach, his titles include winning the Primeira Liga twice in Portugal with Sporting CP, the first of which was the club’s first title in 19 years. Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to take charge of the team until Rúben joins."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's done.<br><br>Bem-vindo ao Manchester United, Ruben Amorim 🇵🇹🤝🔴<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MUFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MUFC</a></p>— Manchester United (@ManUtd) <a href="https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1852319368647938329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2024</a></blockquote>

Liverpool were in the hunt for his services in the summer before settling for Arne Slot but now the 39-year-old will be heading to the Premier League as one of the division's youngest managers alongside Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler. Man Utd will have to pay £9.2million ($11.8m) in compensation to Sporting and will have the option to extend his contract by a further year to 2028.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Van Nistelrooy will do his best to keep things moving in an upward trajectory at Man Utd until Amorim arrives in 10 days. His first game in charge will come after the international break away to Ipswich on November 24.
