His arrival has been met with optimism, as United’s executives believe his tactical ability and strong leadership can help steer the team back to its heyday.
Amorim has a strong ally in Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese playmaker and United captain who played a key role in Portugal’s recent win over Poland, and the Red Devils’ captain’s form and fitness will be crucial as the new manager prepares for his debut.
