Amorim, who joined United from Sporting CP, has brought a fresh approach to the club.

With a busy schedule and injury concerns, Amorim will need to quickly establish his philosophy and tactics.

The January transfer window could also provide an opportunity to strengthen the squad and address specific areas of weakness.

As United look to return to their former glory, Amorim's ability to adapt to the demands of the Premier League will be important.
