Manchester United appoint Amorim as manager

Manchester United have appointed Sporting coach Ruben Amorim as their new manager.

The 39-year-old Portuguese, who will move to Old Trafford from the Lisbon club on 11 November, has signed a contract until June 2027.

Former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who took charge on an interim basis after Erik ten Hag was sacked on Monday, will stay on for the club's next three fixtures.

Amorim, is the sixth permanent manager United have appointed since Sir Alex Ferguson's 26-year reign ended with his retirement in 2013.
