Ruben Amorim carries a certain amount of weight to his name so it is hugely positive for Manchester United that they have brought him in.

We have heard a lot about how he is one of the most exciting managers around at the moment in football and that led him to be linked to Liverpool in the summer.

As a young manager, he could play a real part in building a future team that can be winning Premier League titles again.

It seems very unlikely that success will come this season but there is no reason why it cannot happen in seasons to come. A lot of things will have to change moving forward as he is arriving at a team that are struggling, but on paper they do have more talent than his Sporting Lisbon side.

He will also have to adapt to a more competitive league but he has the mindset and ideas. People who have met him say he is very impressive, so for United it could end up being a very good appointment.

Amorim will also be very different to Erik ten Hag. He will be more open and honest in interviews about performances and that will help get the media and fans onside because so many people disliked Ten Hag’s interviews.

On the pitch, he is set to make them more defensively solid and also bring an exciting style of play to Old Trafford that should lead to a lot more goals.
