Rúben Amorim has taken his first training session as Manchester United head coach following the approval of his visa, a source has told ESPN.

Amorim took charge of a session at Carrington on Monday ahead of his first game against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Sunday.

United’s non-international players, including Marcus Rashford and Casemiro, have reported back after being given time off following the 3-0 win over Leicester City. The rest of the squad are due back on either Wednesday or Thursday.

Players undergoing rehabilitation programmes, including Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Leny Yoro, met Amorim and his staff last week.

According to a source, the 39-year-old coach and the majority of his backroom staff received their work permits last week.

Amorim arrived in Manchester a week ago and has been holding meetings at Carrington. He was given a tour on Old Trafford on Thursday before giving his first interview to the club’s in-house TV channel MUTV.

He’s set to hold his first news conference on either Thursday or Friday before the squad travels to Ipswich on Saturday. Amorim faces a busy schedule to start his reign with nine games in a month before Christmas.

“When Manchester United talked to me, they told me about their plans and you get excited,” Amorim told MUTV.

“It’s a real honour because I was the first choice to start that path. So it’s a great responsibility. But you feel honoured and excited to be part of that.”
