Rúben Amorim is set to conduct his first training session at Manchester United later today, marking the start of his tenure as head coach. His staff is expected to grow soon, with analyst Eduardo Rosalini set to join later this week once his visa is approved. Amorim steps into a challenging situation, with United currently ranked as the second-worst underperforming club in Europe’s top five leagues, based on a recent analysis. Sitting far below their projected standing, the club’s struggles reflect their need to align financial investment with on-field results.

Meanwhile, Manchester United and Christian Eriksen are still expected to part ways at the end of the season. No negotiations for a new contract are taking place, although Amorim’s opinion on Eriksen’s future will be considered. Nonetheless, so far all indications suggest that the Danish midfielder will depart once the season ends.
Separately, reports that Paul Pogba is set to train at Manchester United’s Carrington ground have been dismissed. There has been no contact with United regarding any training arrangement.
