Ruben Amorim gets to work! New Manchester United manager takes first training session after being granted visa to start new era at Old Trafford

Premier League

Wolverhampton

Manchester United

<p>According to <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/42465206/ruben-amorim-takes-man-united-training-visa-issues-fixed" target="_blank">ESPN</a>, the 39-year-old took charge of the session at Carrington on Monday - a couple of weeks after being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-new-man-utd-head-coach-red-devils-confirm-appointment-portuguese-boss-start-date-delayed-two-weeks/blt557a09768631c671" target="_blank">named as United's new boss</a>. The report adds that the Red Devils players who weren't on international duty took part in the session, including Marcus Rashford and Casemiro. Moreover, the majority of the Portuguese's backroom staff have reportedly received their work permits as well. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim has a huge task on his hands at United following the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/time-finally-runs-out-for-erik-ten-hag-man-utd-set-to-sack-coach-nightmare-start/bltbc78659f6992704c" target="_blank">sacking of his predecessor Erik ten Hag last month</a>. They are 13th in the Premier League, are struggling to score goals, and have lacked a clear playing style and identity in recent times. The former Sporting CP boss may need to hit the ground running, or else the pressure will ramp up on him. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amorim played alongside United legend Cristiano Ronaldo between 2010-14 for their native Portugal. The former midfielder, who made a name for himself at Benfica, racked up 14 caps for his country in that period. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim, whose contract runs until 2027, will hold his first news conference later this week ahead of United's trip to lowly Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon. </p>
