Ruben Amorim speaks for the first time since being confirmed as Man United's new boss, revealing he wanted to leave at the end of the season but was given three days to decide

Ruben Amorim has claimed his decision to become the new boss of Manchester United felt like a 'now or never' moment.

The 39-year-old was confirmed as the new head coach of Manchester United on Friday, replacing Erik ten Hag on a two-and-a-half year deal.

Amorim showed no signs of being distracted from the job at hand with Sporting - who he will manage until November 10 - as his players produced an emphatic 5-1 win to make it 10 wins from 10 games in the league this season.
