Ruben Amorim has arrived at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground and been welcomed by club executives.
The Portuguese was welcomed by CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth at the club’s training facility after arriving by taxi.
Amorim smiled broadly as he clasped hands with Berrada and embraced the executive, while he was pictured deep in conversation with the pair.
‘It’s not just Carrington. It’s home,’ Manchester United wrote on X.
‘A warm welcome for Ruben Amorim at our training ground.’
Amorim boarded a private flight on Monday morning and was joined by five of his assistants, who will join him in his new endeavour.
Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, Paulo Barreira, Emanuel Ferro, and Jorge Vital all joined Amorim on the 11am flight from Beja.
Thousands of fans tracked the live progress of the plane, which landed at Manchester Airport around 2pm on Monday afternoon.
He enjoyed a fairytale farewell at Sporting on Sunday evening, less than 12 hours before jetting off to take on his new Red Devils role, as the Portuguese club fought back from two goals down to triumph 4-2 over Braga.
Now, the 39-year-old head coach turns his attention to Manchester United and the immediate issue of holding crunch talks with interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Amorim revealed after Sunday’s clash with Braga that he would speak with the Manchester United legend about his future today, congratulating the Dutchman for doing a ‘great job’ with the Red Devils following Erik ten Hag’s sacking.
Van Nistelrooy took interim charge at Old Trafford at the end of October and oversaw an unbeaten run of four games – winning three times and drawing once.
His most recent success came during Man United’s 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday.
