Extra paid to Sporting on top of release clauseHead coach’s first game set to be on 24 November
Rúben Amorim will be the new Manchester United head coach after agreeing a deal to join from Sporting on a contract to 2027 but will not start until November’s international break.
United are paying the €10m (£8.3m) release fee for the 39-year-old and about another €1m to shorten his 30-day notice period. Amorim will remain with Sporting for their next three fixtures, including the visit of Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday, and his first United match is set to be the trip to Ipswich on 24 November.
