Rúben Amorim is facing a further delay before officially starting as Manchester United's new head coach as the club await confirmation of his visa, a source has told ESPN.

Amad has endured his ups and downs since arriving in Manchester in 2019 from Atalanta. Last season, his first full campaign back at United following loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland, he took his chances, notably on that chaotic afternoon against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final when he wrote his name into United folklore.

Rúben Amorim’s start to his Manchester United career will be delayed until later in the week as paperwork on his visa to work in England has yet to be rubber-stamped.
