RUBEN AMORIM met several of Manchester United’s squad yesterday — and instantly gave them some TLC.

The new Red Devils chief was snapped greeting Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Leny Yoro, Mason Mount and Toby Collyer at Carrington.

He could have a big role for Mason Mount

It came just 24 hours after his arrival from Sporting Lisbon.

Amorim, 39, embraced Shaw, hugged Mainoo and Mount, shared a laugh with £42million summer buy Yoro and chatted to Collyer.

The bulk of United’s players are on international duty — but some first-teamers have been working on their fitness in the gym.

Amorim, whose first match in charge is a Prem trip to Ipswich on November 24, wasted little time making big calls off the pitch, too.

Darren Fletcher survived Amorim’s cull, unlike interim chief Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was axed on Monday in a move criticised by ex-Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand.

Stalwart Fletcher was part of Erik ten Hag’s staff and is set to continue in a coaching capacity.

The former midfield player joined the backroom setup, where he is expected to stay, after the Scot was promoted to technical director by new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe earlier this year.

Before working with his team, Amorim is awaiting a visa, but it appears that he will bring in Sporting expert Eduardo Rosalino.

Fletcher and set-piece coach Andreas Georgson are expected to remain since the Portuguese wants personnel with Premier League experience.

Although they have not yet been verified, Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, Paulo Barreira, Emanuel Ferro, and Jorge Vital all accompanied Amorim to Manchester.
