Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday, but newly-appointed Ruben Amorim won’t be in the dugout for the clash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will Ruben Amorim Be In Charge For Manchester United Against Chelsea?<\/h2>\n

Amorim was officially confirmed<\/a> as United’s new head coach on Friday following the sacking of Erik ten Hag<\/a> earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was appointed interim manager, took charge of the team for United’s 5-2 win over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then, many have been wondering whether Amorim will take on the managerial duties immediately, starting with United’s Premier League<\/a> clash with Chelsea<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Well, no, he won’t. Although Amorim’s appointment has been officially announced by the club in a statement, he won’t be in the dugout for the Chelsea clash.<\/p>\n

Instead, United will be managed by Van Nistelrooy once again.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim Man Utd Start Date<\/h2>\n

Despite the official announcement, Ruben Amorim doesn’t actually start the United job until November 11. This was confirmed in the club’s statement on Friday:<\/p>\n

“Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as Head Coach of the men\u2019s first team, subject to work visa requirements.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“Ruben is one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football. Highly decorated as both a player and coach, his titles include winning the Primeira Liga twice in Portugal with Sporting CP; the first of which was the club\u2019s first title in 19 years.<\/p>\n

“Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to take charge of the team until Ruben joins.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
