A visa problem delayed Ruben Amorim's arrival in England by a few days, reports the Telegraph.
Ruben Amorim must face a slight setback in the turn he will soon give to his career. The new Manchester United coach hoped to settle down at the Carrington training center this Monday, to officially take up his duties. Alas, Erik ten Hag's successor is forced to wait. The start of his new adventure was postponed by a few days, a week at most, according to the Telegraph. Ruben Amorim did not suddenly change his mind.
The club is also not afraid that its new coach will fail to fulfill his commitments. Simply, the documents relating to his visa to work in England have not yet been approved, reports the Telegraph. Amorim will not be able to work with its new players until the final administrative formalities have been completed. Manchester United expect the situation to be resolved quickly and are not overly concerned, knowing that most of the players are busy from today with the last international break of the year.
“I feel ready to take on this new challenge”
Ruben Amorim's international sports visa is the subject of an accelerated procedure in England, which suggests a positive outcome within five working days, the Manchester United club informed the Telegraph. Ruben Amorim concluded his mission with Sporting with a spectacular victory (4-2) against Braga on Sunday evening, on behalf of the 11th day of the Portuguese championship, an eleventh success in as many matches which allows him to hand over the peace of mind and peaceful heart.
“I feel ready to take on this new challenge,” Amorim told reporters after the match. “I'm not naive, I know it will be very different, very difficult. I am at peace now, I can concentrate on my new job and I can't wait to start.” In England, Ruud van Nistelrooy succeeded perfectly in his interim period and ensured a smooth transition by easily beating promoted Leicester (3-0). The former Mancunian striker also won 5-2 against Leicester in the League Cup, obtained a draw (1-1) against Chelsea then beat PAOK (2-0) in the Europa League, before winning on Sunday.
