Rúben Amorim is facing a further delay before officially starting as Manchester United's new head coach as the club await confirmation of his visa, a source has told ESPN.

United announced Amorim as their new boss on Nov. 1 "subject to work visa requirements."

The 39-year-old is set to arrive in Manchester on Monday, but a source has told ESPN that he is still waiting for the official green light to start his employment. United are not expecting any issues with the paperwork.

However, until confirmation is received Amorim cannot begin his official duties, including overseeing training sessions.
