Since he has not yet received a work permit, Ruben Amorim's start date as Manchester United head coach is delayed. As the Portuguese league champions play Braga on Monday, the 39-year-old will make his farewell trip to Manchester after leading Sporting CP. However, United has yet to receive Amorim's visa so that he may start training and working out really.
They have compensated Sporting €11 million for Amorim, plus an additional €1 million to acquire him before the expiration of his 30-day notice period. Although it should be a formality, a work visa is still necessary. After defeating Leicester 3-0, Manchester United concluded Ruud van Nistelrooy's tenure as interim manager undefeated and with three victories from four games.
Victor Kristiansen scored an own goal, following goals from Bruno Fernandes as well as Alejandro Garnacho. In his final home game with Sporting Lisbon, Ruben Amorim defeated Manchester City 4-1, moving them up to second place during the UEFA Champions League. After the international break, United will visit Ipswich Town on November 24 for 39-year-old Amorim's debut match as manager.
Manchester United look to bring wonderkid from Sporting Lisbon
According to reports, Manchester United has inquired regarding Sporting CP wonderkid Geovany Quenda in an effort to strengthen their squad during the Ruben Amorim era. The Red Devils will want to strengthen their roster over the upcoming transfer windows now that Amorim is their new head coach. United has contacted Sporting CP to inquire about the future prospects of Quenda, the seventeen-year-old attacker who earned his senior debut earlier in the year, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Several other European as well as English Premier League teams have expressed interest in the highly regarded young player, who already has scored two goals and supplied multiple assists during his debut season. Rivals like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are reportedly interested in the teenager as well, so United might be forced to contend with them.
