The statement reads: ‘Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as Head Coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements.
‘He will join until June 2027 with a club option of an additional year, once he has fulfilled his obligations to his current club. He will join Manchester United on Monday 11 November.
‘Ruben 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 Ruben joins.’

Amorim will bring four coaches and a sports scientist with him from Sporting to Old Trafford.
Significantly, he has been given the title of head coach instead of manager, meaning he will have less involvement in recruitment and other off-field matters.
Joining on Nov 11 before the international break, he will have 13 days to prepare for his first game against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
