RUBEN AMORIM has touched down in Manchester to begin life as Manchester United manager.
Thousands of footballs fans eagerly tracked the Portuguese boss' flight as he made his way from Lisbon to the UK.
Amorim's flight, a private jet from Beja international airport, was the most tracked flight in the world on popular flight tracking site Flightradar24.
Man Utd fans are clearly excited to see their new boss make an impact at Old Trafford after things had gone stale under the management of Erik ten Hag.
Amorim ducked out of site of cameras as he left Manchester Airport in a car.
The Prem's newest gaffer was given a police escort off the premises.
Amorim took charge of his final game as Sporting boss last night, waving goodbye to the fans after a 4-2 win over Braga.
And one of the first jobs for the new arrival will be to hold discussions with Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has steadied the ship for the incoming boss since Ten Hag's departure.
Van Nistelrooy, who made over 200 appearances for United as a player, acted as United's interim boss in Ten Hag's absence - leading the club to three wins and one draw in his four games in charge.
Amorim explained after last night's game that he is set for crunch talks with the Dutchman over his role at Old Trafford.
He said: "About a legend of the club. He did a great job. I have to talk with him tomorrow [Monday].
"Then I will explain everything. I am very clear and I will tell you like it is. Let's wait until tomorrow".
Van Nistelrooy signed a two-year contract with United in the summer as an assistant manager, but reports have suggested that Amorim is hoping to bring Sporting assistants Emanuel Ferro, Adelio Candido and Carlos Fernandes along to Manchester with him.
Sporting have moved on quickly themselves, announcing a new boss at the club before Amorim even touched down in Manchester.
The Portuguese giants announced Joao Pereira, 40, as manager earlier today.
Pereira, a former right-back, who played 154 games for Sporting has been involved in coaching there since his retirement from playing in 2021.
He has also won EVERY game this season while managing the club’s B team.
Amorim will get to work with a limited squad at United during the international break.
The 39-year-old will then take charge of his first game son November 24, an away trip to face Ipswich Town.
