FootballManchester UnitedPremier League Ruben Amorim’s debut as Manchester United manager has been scheduled following an agreement reached with Sporting Lisbon. This arrangement clears the way for Amorim to take charge at Old Trafford, marking the beginning of his tenure with an upcoming match that’s highly anticipated by fans and analysts alike.

Manchester United fans will have to wait nearly a month to see Ruben Amorim’s debut as manager. After United’s full agreement with Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday, Amorim, 39, was selected to replace Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed on Monday after United’s dismal season start left them 14th in the Premier League.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has taken on the role of caretaker manager, leading United to an exciting 5-2 Carabao Cup victory over Leicester City. It was initially hoped that Amorim might join the team on the sidelines this Sunday against Chelsea. However, Van Nistelrooy will need to manage three more games before Amorim steps in.

Following a £10m agreement, Amorim will complete his 30-day notice period at Sporting Lisbon, with three fixtures remaining, including facing Estrela da Amadora on Friday, Manchester City in the Champions League next Tuesday, and a farewell match against Braga on Sunday, November 10. This timeline means Amorim’s debut as United’s manager will be on Sunday, November 24, in an away game against Ipswich Town, where United will face former coach Kieran McKenna.

After Chelsea, Van Nistelrooy’s squad will face Greek side PAOK Thessaloniki in the Europa League, where they’re yet to secure a victory.

Van Nistelrooy, after his recent win, stated: “I came here to assist the club. In this role, I’ll help as needed. My focus is to support the club in building for the future.”
Ruben Amorim’s debut as Manchester United’s manager will be delayed until November 24, as he completes his 30-day notice period with Sporting Lisbon following a £10 million agreement. United’s decision to part ways with Erik ten Hag came after a disappointing start to the season, leaving them in 14th place in the Premier League.

In the interim, Ruud van Nistelrooy will serve as caretaker manager, having recently led the team to a 5-2 Carabao Cup victory over Leicester City. Van Nistelrooy will manage three more games before Amorim’s arrival, starting with a match against Chelsea this Sunday, followed by a Europa League clash with PAOK Thessaloniki, where the team is still seeking its first win.

Amorim will oversee his farewell matches with Sporting Lisbon, including fixtures against Estrela da Amadora and Manchester City in the Champions League, before officially taking charge of Manchester United against Ipswich Town. Van Nistelrooy expressed his commitment to supporting the club during this transition period, focusing on building for the future.
