Ruben Amorim is returning, according to the predicted Man United lineup against Paok. He also promises to bench two mediocre Man United players for the first time.
The Sporting Lisbon manager is scheduled to start his tenure at Old Trafford on November 11; Manchester United stated on Friday that Ruben Amorim would be joining them as their new head coach.
Due to the team’s poor performance this season—the 2-1 loss to West Ham United turned out to be Erik ten Hag’s last game as manager of the 20-time English champions—he was fired from the club on Monday.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was put in charge right away on a temporary basis, but it soon became apparent that Amorim was the club’s top choice to become their next permanent manager.
Prior to the official transition in the dugout, Van Nistelrooy will continue to captain the Red Devils against Chelsea, PAOK, and Leicester City, while Amorim will oversee Sporting’s next three games.
