Revealed: Ruben Amorim’s Work Visa Approval Timeframe

Manchester United are confident new head coach Rúben Amorim will receive his work permit well ahead of his first game in charge against Ipswich Town next weekend.

Amorim has been appointed as Erik ten Hag’s successor at Old Trafford, but the 39-year-old is waiting for a visa which will allow him to formally start work.

A United source said the process is “proceeding positively” and the club do not anticipate any issues which would prevent Amorim from being on the touchline at Portman Road on Nov. 24.

The report further states that Ruben Amorim may have his first Man United training session with the senior players who are not on international duty.

United are also waiting for visas for Amorim’s staff before officially announcing the make-up of his backroom team.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, caretaker boss for the last four games following Ten Hag’s dismissal, left the club on Monday.

Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also departed, but Darren Fletcher is set to stay on.
