Ruben Amorim had previously seen some of his new players when he arrived to Manchester United to take over as manager. 

The Portuguese manager was hired to succeed Erik ten Hag as head coach of the Red Devils after the team had a record-low start to the season. 

This 39-year-old was a two-time league champion at Sporting Clube de Portugal. He also brings some Lisbon-based employees with him. 

United supporters will be interested to see how quickly the new manager settles in at his new home, as he is one of the most sought-after young managers in Europe. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was temporarily in command and had no losses, will be replaced by him. 

Amorim had the opportunity to meet several of his new players for the first time despite the international break. To meet their new leader, those who were injured or not selected remained at Carrington. 

England’s outstanding player, Kobbie Mainoo, who attended the United academy and is currently sidelined due to an injury, was spotted with Amorim.

The adolescent received a hearty embrace and a broad smile from the new manager. One of the team’s top young players, the teenager will undoubtedly be crucial to his goals to transform the entire club. 

Amorim was spotted hugging the former Chelsea great, while two other England players, Ke Shaw and Mason Mount, also had a chance to smile and chat with him. 

The 39-year-old head coach and Leny Yoro were both seen giggling. After suffering an injury during the preseason, Yoro had only recently resumed training with United. 

Amorim finally calmed his charges by placing his arm over Toby Collyer’s shoulder, a school standout. 

When a new manager takes over, United’s players will naturally want to show Amorim how they can win him over. 

Amorim’s disapproval of Ten Hag’s system is evident. Near the end of his tenure at Old Trafford, Ten Hag frequently deployed a double pivot 4-2-3-1 formation. 

However, it is well known that his replacement prefers a 3-4-3 formation. Some players will gain opportunities where there weren’t previously many when a team’s structure and composition change, but the contrary is also true.

After Ten Hag’s run of poor performances ended with a 2-1 loss to West Ham, former assistant manager Van Nistelrooy may have led an undefeated run, but he departed the team before Amorim took control. 

To create space for Amorim’s squad, Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar (Ten Hag’s other No. 2), and Pieter Morel (performance expert) were also let go.

A club statement announced Ruud van Nistelrooy’s departure from Manchester United.

Rud is and always will be a legend at Manchester United. We value his contributions to the club and his work ethic while he has been employed there. At Old Trafford, he is always welcomed.
