Ruben Amorim declares that Man United is 'my place' as new Old Trafford boss explains 'really hard' decision to leave Sporting Lisbon in interview with Gary Neville

New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorin has explained why he simply couldn't turn down the opportunity to manage the club.

Amorim took charge at Old Trafford during the international break on a two-and-a-half-year deal, replacing Erik ten Hag and taking the reins from interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Portuguese has been in Manchester this week as he adapts to his new job, which is as head coach of the Red Devils following his departure from Sporting Lisbon in his homeland.

Amorin, widely regarded as one of Europe's top coaches, took charge of his first training session on Monday.
