Manchester United have officially confirmed the appointment of Ruben Amorim as their new manager.
Club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy had been placed in interim charge of first-team affairs following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal at the start of the week, but, after days of fervent speculation and delays, Amorim has now been appointed on a long-term contract that runs until the summer of 2027 with the club possessing the option to extend it by a further year.
