** Manchester United Appoints Ruben Amorim as New Manager, Faces "Difficult" Challenge Ahead

Manchester United has appointed Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim as its new manager on a two-and-a-half-year deal. Amorim, 39, succeeds Erik ten Hag and will face a significant challenge in revitalizing the team's performance.

Amorim, who was previously in charge of Sporting CP, acknowledged the difficulty of his new role, stating: "I'm not naive, I know it's going to be very different, very difficult." He expressed his readiness for the task ahead, saying he is "at peace now" and looking forward to starting work.

Amorim will have 13 days during the international break to prepare for his first match in charge away against Ipswich on November 24. The new manager has experience with a 3-4-3 system and plans to adapt this setup to suit Manchester United's players.
