Amorim’s flight, a private jet from Beja international airport, was the most tracked flight in the world on popular flight tracking site Flightradar24.

Man Utd fans are clearly excited to see their new boss make an impact at Old Trafford after things had gone stale under the management of Erik ten Hag.

Amorim ducked out of site of cameras as he left Manchester Airport in a car.

The Prem’s newest gaffer was given a police escort off the premises.

Amorim took charge of his final game as Sporting boss last night, waving goodbye to the fans after a 4-2 win over Braga.

And one of the first jobs for the new arrival will be to hold discussions with Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has steadied the ship for the incoming boss since Ten Hag’s departure.

Van Nistelrooy, who made over 200 appearances for United as a player, acted as United’s interim boss in Ten Hag’s absence – leading the club to three wins and one draw in his four games in charge.

Amorim explained after last night’s game that he is set for crunch talks with the Dutchman over his role at Old Trafford.

He said: “About a legend of the club. He did a great job. I have to talk with him tomorrow [Monday].

“Then I will explain everything. I am very clear and I will tell you like it is. Let’s wait until tomorrow”.

Amorim then went to Carrington with a police escort. At Man Utd’s headquarters, the 39-year-old coach shook hands with CEO Omar Berrada and chatted with sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Amorim’s first move as Man Utd manager was to meet and greet the team’s staff. But the Portuguese coach cannot carry out the duties of a head coach, including directing training sessions, until Man Utd completes the procedures related to work permits.

In the meantime, Amorim will get used to the new environment and Man Utd players who were not called up to the team for this FIFA Days, including the trio of English stars Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo.

After that, on November 24, the 39-year-old will coach his first game, an away trip against Ipswich Town.
