New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has not yet been granted a UK work visa and is therefore unable to start work at Carrington training ground. However, hugging and small talk are still allowed when meeting players during the tour. Luke Shaw, Lenny Yoro, Coby Menor, Mason Mount and Toby Collier became the first Red Devils players to make contact.
Photos released by the club showed a beaming Amorim hugging Luke Shaw, Coby Menor and Mount, as well as talking to Yoro and Collier. Most of the rest of the United squad are away with their respective national teams, with some of the players recently injured or returning to action, so they are working in the Carrington indoor gym.
Amorim brought five coaches to Manchester United, but British media revealed that he also intends to poach a sixth man from his old club Sporting Portugal, and analyst Eduardo Rosalino is his target candidate. Of Tunhag's original coaches, only former technical director Darren Fletcher, who will be in charge of first-team and youth team links, and set-piece coach Andreas Georgeson have been retained, with Amorim hoping their experience in the Premier League will help him.
The day after Amorim's arrival in Manchester, United left-back Terrell Malasia finally returned to action after a 538 day absence. The Dutch left-back, 25, started for United's Under-21 reserves against Huddersfield Town in the British Championship and played 45 minutes.
Malasia has undergone two knee operations in the past year and has suffered a number of recurring injuries. Therefore, United took the "glass Man" very seriously for the first game of his comeback, and four members of the first-team medical team: Ibrahim Kerem, David Billingsley, Jordan Rees and Alan Watmough all travelled to Huddersfield Town in case of emergency!
