The new Red Devils’ manager, Ruben Amorim, is facing intense scrutiny—but he managed to go unnoticed among Manchester shoppers.

Amazingly, the Portuguese coach blended into the crowd as he wandered through the bustling town center.

Ruben Amorim should have been easily recognizable to football fans.

Shoppers paid no attention as Amorim walked among them.

Amorim won’t be able to relax for much longer, as he’s about to lead training sessions.

No one recognized Amorim as he walked past shoppers.

The former Sporting Lisbon chief, 39, arrived in the city last week to significant attention, even giving his first interview. He’s set to be officially unveiled next week, provided his work permit is processed without issues.

Yet, despite Amorim’s distinctive beard, passers-by appeared completely oblivious as he smiled while strolling down the street.

His garb was striking enough – a white top with the hoodie up contrasting sharply with a black puffer jacket.

The 14-cap ex-midfielder was accompanied by a mini entourage, all dressed just as casually.

In fact, from the group’s relaxed look, you’d never know Amorim is taking on one of the world’s most prestigious and high-pressure positions in football.

He certainly won’t be a mystery shopper in the transfer market – as United’s global status means he’ll struggle to land any bargains.

And he’ll promptly become one of the most recognisable faces in the country.

Amorim likely wore a quiet smile at being so undisturbed in the bustling crowds.

It’s no surprise that he seemed to appreciate his temporary anonymity on a crowded Manchester pavement. Taking over from the sacked Erik ten Hag, he has been tasked by the club’s minority owner, Jim Ratcliffe, with reviving the glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign from 1986 to 2013.

If the necessary documentation is completed as expected, Amorim is set to supervise training for the first time next week. Currently residing at the five-star Lowry Hotel near Old Trafford, he is eager to share his ideas with the team following the international break.

He has expressed a desire to “reinvigorate the team” by organizing an uplifting stadium tour for his players. His first two matches will be a home game against Bodo-Glimt in the Europa League and a Premier League clash against Ipswich.

By then, Amorim will have transitioned from “Who’s that?” to the man who cannot afford to fail—otherwise, he risks becoming the 10th permanent or temporary manager to leave Old Trafford since Ferguson’s retirement.

Amorim will have a busy first official week at Old Trafford. He’ll be focused on settling into his role, leading training sessions, and preparing for his upcoming matches. With the initial stadium tour and discussions with his players, he aims to instill a renewed sense of purpose and motivation. Balancing these responsibilities while navigating the pressures of management will certainly keep him
