• Head coach to leave Sporting and start on 11 November
• ‘I asked for it to be at end of the season,’ reveals Amorim

Manchester United hailed Rúben Amorim as one of Europe’s “most exciting and highly rated young coaches” after appointing him on a contract to 2027.

The 39-year-old revealed last night that he originally wanted to take over at Old Trafford at the end of the season, but will instead start as Erik ten Hag’s successor on 11 November after working out a notice period at Sporting.
