Meanwhile, Amorim will take charge of a United team languishing in 13th place on the Premier League log. Since the retirement of Alex Ferguson in 2013 after he led them to 13 Premier League titles between 1992 and 2013, five FA Cups and two Champions League titles it has been slim pickings for the team in red from Manchester.
Sky Sports Zinny Boswell wrote: “Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, the United shirt has weighed too heavy, hampering results and turning world-class players into flops. Finding a way to address this, and the seemingly toxic environment around United, must be a priority for Amorim.” First up for United in the new Amorim era will be a league encounter away at Ipswich Town on November 24, before a Europa League clash at home as they welcome Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt four days later.
