Ruud van Nistelrooy's unbeaten record is "handing over", and Manchester United has completely bid farewell to the Dutch 2.0 era

The reporter reported coldly At 13:50 p.m. local time on November 11, Amorim and five assistant coaches visited the Carrington training base. Manchester United CEO Joel Berada, sporting director Ashworth and football director Wilcox welcomed the second-ever Portuguese coach to Manchester United. Soon after, Manchester United officially announced the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy and three other Dutch assistant coaches, which means that after Van Gaal in 2016, Manchester United's "Dutch 2.0 era" is officially over.

At 11 a.m. local time on November 11, Amorim and his five assistant coaches left Beja International Airport in southern Portugal by private jet. At its peak, more than 10,900 netizens tracked the flight trajectory through the Flightradar24 website, making Amorim's flight one of the most tracked flights in the world. At 13:50 in the afternoon, Amorim and the coaching staff, who had just landed at Manchester Airport, were escorted by police cars and rushed to the Carrington training base in a special car from Manchester United Club.

Amorim joked about the British weather with Bellada, who greeted him, and warmly embraced his three new superiors. Manchester United's official social media outlet gave a succinct welcome: "It's not just Carrington, it's your new home. Amorim was accompanied by Berada and others to visit Manchester United's training facilities. A video released by Manchester United Television shows Amorim introducing himself to the administrative and canteen staff at the training ground. However, with the need to arrive in the UK to apply for a labour permit, it may not be until next week for the Amorim team to start training in earnest.

One of the first things Amorim did when he arrived in Carrington was to meet with his predecessor, Ruud van Nistelrooy. Soon after, United announced the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy and three other Dutch assistant coaches, Haaker, Ruviral and Morrell, to make way for Amorim's coaching staff. However, Scotsman Fletcher, the home assistant coach of Manchester United in the Ten Hag era, and Georgesson, the assistant of Sweden's set-piece who joined this summer, will stay in the club. Amorim has officially taken over the five-man coaching staff at Sporting de Portugal, including first assistant coach Carlos Fernandez, assistant coaches Candido and Filo, goalkeeper coach Vital and sports science expert Paulo Ferreira.

Since becoming the Red Devils' firefighting coach on 1 November, Ruud van Nistelrooy has led the team to three wins and one draw in four games, a winning percentage (75 per cent) higher than that of the three previous firefighting coaches Ryan Giggs (two wins, one draw, 1 defeat, 50 per cent win rate), Rangnick (two wins, two draws, 50 per cent win rate) and Michael Carrick (two wins, one draw, 66 per cent win rate), but lower than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (4 wins, 100 per cent win rate) in the same period. Norway's "Babyface" took over from Jose Mourinho in December 2018 and started with eight straight wins before finally getting his contract in March 2019.

Ruud van Nistelrooy still wants to stay at Manchester United, leaving his first-team coaching position, but his future at the club is uncertain.

Speaking in his final post-match press conference in charge of the Green Lions, Amorim said he was ready for a new challenge: "I'm not naïve, it's going to be very different, it's going to be very difficult, I'm not having any illusions. I know it's hard to replicate what has been achieved here in other teams, but other teams have different opportunities and pressures. "Amorim's upcoming Manchester United are only 13th in the Premier League, having won just one European game in the last 13 months.

The Red Devils' Dutch centre-back Ligt has issued a warning, stressing Amorim's biggest challenge is to reunite the United dressing room as a team. De Ligt is no stranger to Amorim's back three, having played for the Dutch national team, Juventus and Bayern Munich. Ruud van Nistelrooy played his final game in charge against Leicester City, playing in a back three when United were in possession.

"Milan Sport" revealed: Juventus defender captain Danilo could become Amorim's first new signing at Manchester United. The 33-year-old, who has spent nearly 12 years with Porto, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Juventus, has spent nearly 12 years with his contract expiring next summer. However, Sporting de Portugal president Van Dales has ruled out the possibility of efficient centre-forward Jokeles joining Manchester United in the winter window.

Athletic believe Amorim will only have to dig inside, with midfielder Ugarte, who has worked with him at Sporting, expected to get more playing time, while youngsters Diallo and Menou are also expected to be favoured by the new manager.

Surprisingly, Amorim plans to place Mount at the centre of his tactical system at Manchester United. And he was one of two in-cut wingers in Chelsea's back three during the Tuchel era.

In any case, Manchester United's Dutch 2.0 era has turned a page, and the Portugal 2.0 era has officially begun. Jose Mourinho beat Leicester City on his debut eight years ago to lift the first trophy (Community Shield) for Manchester United's Portugal 1.0 era. Eight years later, can Amorim get off to a good start at Ipswich Town?
