Manchester United have announced the the appointment of Ruben Amorim as their new head coach.
Amorim signed a contract until June 2027, with the option of a further year.
The Portuguese will only join United on November 11, after fulfilling his obligations with Sporting Lisbon.
The 39-year-old will will take charge of his first United match at Ipswich on November 24.
United have paid Sporting an extra €1m (£840,000) on top of his €10m (£8.4m) exit clause for an early release from his 30-day notice period.
He replaces Erik ten Hag who was sacked last month.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will remain in temporary charge of the Red Devils until his arrival.
