Amorim is bringing his trusted coaching staff from Sporting CP, including:

  • Carlos Fernandes
  • Adélio Cândido
  • Jorge Vital (goalkeeper coach)

Van Nistelrooy stated: "I'm here to help the club in any way, but now it's time for Amorim to build his own team." While his departure marks the end of an era, it allows Amorim to fully implement his tactical vision and philosophy at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese manager's successful track record at Sporting CP has created high expectations. With a blend of emerging talent and experienced players at his disposal, Amorim faces the challenge of returning Manchester United to its former glory and competing for major titles.

The transition represents a significant shift in the club's direction, with Amorim's appointment signaling a fresh approach to United's tactical and developmental strategy. His proven ability to nurture young talent while maintaining competitive success makes him an intriguing choice for the club's future.
