Ruben Amorim Named as Manchester United's New Manager, Club to Incur This Expense

Ruben will take over as the interim manager, replacing Van Nistelrooy, who was appointed following the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag. The transition will take place after the November international break on November 11.

“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,” the statement added.

Manchester United have reportedly spent up to 11 million euros for buying out the remainder of Amorim's contract with the Portuguese club, Sporting CP.
