Manchester United’s new head coach Ruben Amorim visited Old Trafford for the very first time since joining the club on Thursday as his tenure heads towards its first weekend.
The 39-year-old surprised some unsuspecting visitors on the club tour in the changing rooms – while he became acquainted with his new home. Amorim will take charge of United for the first time a week on Sunday when the club travel to newly promoted Ipswich Town.
Amorim’s full squad is set to return to Carrington early next week when their respective international adventures come to an end. Despite being less than a week into his new job, it appears the Portuguese head coach is already making some big calls as he gets down to business.
Rashford handed a fresh challenge
According to GiveMeSport, Amorim is prepared to offer Marcus Rashford a chance to play as No.9 for the team in his 3-4-3 system. The England international has been playing on the right-wing recently to accommodate the likes of Alejandro Garnacho.
While he has played predominantly on the left-wing for United, he has been known to play as a centre-forward as and when they have been struggling for options up top.
Amorim makes Casemiro call
According to BBC Sport – via Sport – Amorim has already informed Casemiro that he will be looking to sell him in the January transfer window. United will likely need to sell to bring in players and the Brazilian midfielder is one of very few options at the club who could still demand a fee this winter.
