New Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim said he is under no illusions about the difficulty of the task he faces when he moves to England from Portugal but he is looking forward to the challenge.

Ruben Amorim faces a delay to start his job as Manchester United manager because he hasn’t yet been given a work permit. The 39-year-old will travel to Manchester on Monday after taking charge of Sporting CP for the final time when the Portuguese league leaders face Braga.

Ruben Amorim has hinted at a swoop for Sporting star Pedro Goncalves at the end of the current Premier League season.

Over to you Ruben Amorim. Manchester United’s incoming head coach will take over a team on the up after a 3-0 win against Leicester in the Premier League extended its unbeaten run to four games in all competitions under interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes bagged one goal and created two more in his team's spirited 3-0 Premier League victory over Leicester City on Sunday, a victorious send-off for Ruud van Nistelrooy in his finale as interim manager.
