Amorim started his tenure as coach of Manchester United with a 1-1draw against Ipswich at Portman Road.

The former Sporting Lisbon manager joined the Red Devils early this month on a two-and-a-half-year deal to replace Erik ten Hag, as reported by the BBC.

The English giants have struggled to win the Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013.

United currently sit 12th in the Premier League table after 12 matches this season.

The signing of Amorim has boosted the confidence of United fans following his successful spell at Sporting Lisbon.

The former Portugal international won the Portuguese League two times and the Portuguese Cup three times while managing SC Braga and Sporting Lisbon.

He is expected to steer the club to a respectable place in the league as United build a side capable of competing for major titles.
