Manchester United can finally start the Ruben Amorim era after the Portuguese coach arrived at Carrington earlier this wek.

Here we go with another new era at Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag lost his job as United boss in October and Ineos settled on a replacement within days.

United appointed Ruben Amorim on November 1 but allowed him to stay with Sporting until the international break.

The break is now here and Amorim has finally arrived at Carrington to get down to work as United boss.

Amorim won his final game in charge of Sporting on Sunday and is now gearing up to face Ipswich Town in his first United game.

Ex-Real Madrid star on Ruben Amorim to Manchester United

Amorim arrives with a strong reputation from his time in Portugal.

Sporting won two league titles under Amorim and he is looking to bring that magic touch to United.

We have already been Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva rave about Amorim as ‘unbelievable’, even if he won’t wish him good luck.

Former Real Madrid star Fabio Coentrao has now shared his thoughts on Amorim’s move to Old Trafford.

Coentrao played with Amorim for both Portugal and Benfica, with Coentrao going on to play for Real Madrid.

The former left back has now told Record that he thinks Sporting have lost a ‘very important’ part of their success.

Coentrao believes that Amorim deserves his move to United, believing that ‘the best coach in the world by far’ has now taken over at Old Trafford.

“Sporting have lost a very important piece, but I’m happy for Ruben. He deserves this and much more. Manchester United have gained the best coach in the world… by far,” said Coentrao.

Ruben Amorim excitement building

Coentrao’s comments will only serve to stoke more hype around Amorim and his move to United.

Sporting had gone nearly 20 years without a league title before Amorim won two in the space of three years.

That goes some way to explaining just why Sporting fans – and Coentrao – rate Amorim so highly.

United have now gone more than a decade with a Premier League title and Amorim’s task is to return to the summit.

That may take some time but Amorim has shown incredible potential as a manager with Sporting and will hopefully be the right man for United in the coming years.
