In a statement, Manchester United expressed their excitement about Amorim's arrival, stating, “We are delighted to announce Rúben Amorim as the head coach of the men’s first team, pending work visa requirements.” Amorim has signed a contract that runs until June 2027, with an option for an additional year.

Manchester United has reached an agreement to appoint Rúben Amorim as their new head coach, with the 39-year-old set to join from Sporting on a contract that runs until 2027. However, he will officially take charge of the team during the international break in November. The club will pay a release fee of €10 million (£8.3 million) to secure Amorim's services, along with an additional €1 million to expedite his departure from Sporting by shortening his 30-day notice period. Until then, Amorim will continue to lead Sporting in their upcoming matches, including a crucial Champions League clash against Manchester City. Amorim's first match in charge of Manchester United is scheduled for November 24, when the team will face Ipswich Town.
