Ruben Amorim has officially started his tenure as Manchester United’s head coach, leading his first training session on Monday.
Despite the squad being depleted due to the international break, players like Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Leny Yoro participated in the session.
Amorim’s first official match in charge will be on Sunday when Manchester United travels to Ipswich Town. The 39-year-old Portuguese tactician replaces Erik ten Hag, who was sacked shortly before the international break. Amorim takes over a team sitting in 13th place in the Premier League, aiming to restore the club’s identity.
In his first interview, Amorim emphasized the importance of establishing a clear identity for the team. “We know that we need time, but we have to win time. To win time is to win games. But the most important thing for me is identity,” he stated. Amorim’s focus on identity is expected to bring a sense of stability and direction to the team.
*Key Challenges Ahead*

As Amorim begins his journey at Manchester United, fans are eagerly awaiting the changes he will bring to the team. With his emphasis on identity and development of young talent, there is hope for a brighter future at Old Trafford.
