appointment of Portuguese coach, Ruben Amorim, as the permanent successor to Erik ten Hag.
The Sporting CP boss – who has won two league titles during his time in Lisbon – is set to officially take charge during the upcoming international break, providing interim coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy, with three more games as the main man in the dugout.
Quite why Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co did not act during the previous international break is rather curious, with the club now faced with a brief delay before Amorim can properly get going at Old Trafford.The whole debacle ensures yet more scrutiny must be focused on the new INEOS regime, having dallied over whether to dismiss Ten Hag in the summer; publicly undermined the Dutchman by sounding out other managers; decided to extend his contract, before ultimately opting to sack the 54-year-old just nine games into the new Premier Leagueseason.
