Ruben Amorim has been backed to succeed at Manchester United by one of the club's star players after he was officially confirmed as the club's new head coach on Friday.

Following days of negotiations with Sporting Lisbon over Amorim's release clause and notice period, United have finally got their man, four days after sacking Erik ten Hag.

Amorim has signed a two-and-a-half year deal and will take over at Old Trafford on November 11, as he is staying at Sporting for their next three games to see the club through to the international break.
