MANCHESTER — Manchester United's new head coach Ruben Amorim will be welcomed as a breath of fresh air for a much-needed reset when he arrives at Old Trafford later this month to sort out a team mired in mediocrity and struggling in the Premier and Europa League.
Amorim must hit the ground running in one of the most scrutinized jobs in football that saw Erik ten Hag fired on Monday — the latest of five permanent managers who have wilted in the shadow of United's most successful boss Alex Ferguson.
José Mourinho is expected to recover after suffering a crunching tackle during a training session with Fenerbahce.
“The Special One” posted a video to Instagram of him getting taken out during a drill. Midfielder Ismail Yuksek collided with the Portuguese manager who then needed help from players to limp off the field.
In the video Mourinho can been seen wearing white long sleeves in the middle of the training exercise when he gets unintentionally tackled from behind.
