Ruben Amorim is poised to begin his managerial journey with Manchester United as he prepares for his first match at the helm against Ipswich Town.
After overcoming visa approval hurdles, Amorim and his coaching staff are eager to get to work at Carrington.
However, the Portuguese coach is faced with the wait for a crucial member of his team, as Adelio Candido’s work permit remains pending.
Despite several first-team players being away on international duty, including Casemiro, Mason Mount, Antony, and Marcus Rashford, Amorim will have some key names available for training.
Lisandro Martinez, who pulled out of the Argentina squad, will undergo an assessment at Carrington, while others like Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw continue their rehabilitation from injury.
Amorim has made it clear that he intends to build a strong identity within his squad, focusing on the team’s character and principles rather than adjusting his philosophy for short-term success.
In his words, “The most important thing for me at this moment is to create the principles, the identity, and the character that we had in the past.”
He emphasized that while tactics and formations are important, establishing a clear identity and playing style will be his top priority from day one.
