Ruben Amorim’s Man United start date delayed as new manager suffers setback -Reports

Ruben Amorim may not be able to oversee training since he is scheduled to arrive in Manchester on Monday following his last game with Sporting Lisbon.

Ruben Amorim is still awaiting a work visa, therefore it seems unlikely that he will lead Manchester United’s first practice on Monday.

After his farewell match with Sporting Lisbon, who play Braga on Sunday night, Amorim will depart for Manchester, excited to start with his new team.

Marcus Rashford is among the prominent players who will stay in Manchester after the break has begun, although it is unclear when they will be able to attend one of Amorim’s training sessions.

United strolled to a 3-0 win at home to Steve Cooper’s Leicester City on Sunday in what was Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game as interim boss.

Three wins from four games make for a stellar tenure as the Dutchman prepares to step down, and Van Nistelrooy admitted after his curtain call: “It’s been a short but amazing period.

“We are in an uncertain position, but we tried to do our jobs and help the club. The way the fans supported me and the team, in difficult moments, it was a special moment.

“To close down this block of games with good results and a good connection, I can’t thank them enough. We will learn what the further plan is now.”

Club captain Fernandes is a player who won’t get introduced to Amorim right away but acknowledges that a plethora of changes will accompany the Portuguese – but one thing that remains the same is the need to get back to the apex of English football.

“Ruud van Nistelrooy loves the club, and we wanted to say goodbye as a manager for him properly because he did good things for us,” Fernandes admitted
