A club statement read: “Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as Head Coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements.
“He will join until June 2027 with a club option of an additional year, once he has fulfilled his obligations to his current club. He will join Manchester United on Monday 11 November.”
Ahead of the upcoming transfer window, reports suggest that Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies has outlined his terms for a move to Manchester United.
According to Give Me Sport, Davies has requested a £10 million signing bonus if he is to swap Bavaria for Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old’s contract with Bayern runs out at the end of the 2024/25 season, which would allow him to leave as a free agent.
However, his reported weekly wage demand of £240,000 could pose a challenge to finalizing the deal.
Speaking about his future last month, Davies said: “As of now, my full focus is to stay healthy and to play the game with the club I’m with right now. “I’m not focused on what’s going on in the future.”
Davies added: “I’m just focusing on staying healthy and helping my team win. My team make me feel valued. The whole Bayern community make me feel valued. I see that each and every day.”
When asked about new Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany, Davies said: “He is a very brilliant guy. The way that we’re playing now is very intense.
“He picks the best team and the best players to put on the team that train well. Every training session is a battle for the starting spot. Nothing is guaranteed. The way he talks to the team, he is polite but firm. He has ideas and we’re executing them well.”
