Thu Oct 31 18:53:10 UTC 2024: ## Manchester United Appoint Ruben Amorim as New Manager

**Manchester, England** – Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim is set to take over as Manchester United’s new manager after the club reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon. The 39-year-old is expected to be confirmed as manager on Thursday, according to reports.

Amorim will remain at Sporting for their next three games, including a Champions League clash against Manchester City next week. He is then expected to take charge at Old Trafford during the November international break, with his first game scheduled to be a trip to Ipswich on November 24.

United reportedly paid Sporting an additional one million euros on top of Amorim’s 10 million euro release clause for an early release. The club confirmed their willingness to meet the clause in a statement to the Lisbon stock exchange.

Amorim’s arrival follows the sacking of Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed after a disappointing start to the season. Despite a significant summer spending spree, United are currently 14th in the Premier League.

Caretaker manager Ruud van Nistelrooy led United to a 5-2 victory over Leicester in the League Cup on Wednesday. He has stated his commitment to helping the club “build towards the future.”

Amorim is seen as a promising young manager who has impressed with his work at Sporting. His appointment marks a fresh start for United as they look to rebuild under his leadership.
