Amorim visits the Theatre of Dreams, Manchester United's first training date revealed! It was revealed that he wanted Rashford to play in the No. 9 position

Manchester United's new boss Ruben Amorim visited Old Trafford for the first time as manager on Thursday, and in front of the coaching wall in the home tunnel, he gazed fondly at the place where his photograph would appear in the future, and his eyes seemed to be Sir Alex Ferguson, the "godfather".

Amorim played at the Theatre of Dreams as a player, but it was as an opponent that he played against Manchester United for Benfica and Braga. This week's visit was clearly different, and now he is the owner of the course. Amorim photographed many places at Manchester United's home stadium, with the 39-year-old being illuminated by the stadium floodlights. He was also taken to the press room to pose on the sidelines of the pitch, which will be his two main battlegrounds.

"It's funny, I've seen this room many times!" Sitting in the position where Ten Hag has often achieved a 'post-match comeback', Amorim smiled: "This Sunday, next week, Ipswich, we'll be ready."

Amorim met the lucky crowd at Old Trafford in the dressing room who paid to visit the stadium that day, shaking hands with the fans and joking: "You play, you play, you sit on the bench!"

Amorim was also taken to the Hall of Honour to look at the many trophies inside. 'Manchester United have to win, we all know that.' He said. As Ferdin's seventh full-time manager since his retirement and the youngest Red Devils manager since McGuinness, Amorim faces a huge challenge.

His long-term goal is to lead the Red Devils back to the Premier League title. This season is out of the question, with United 13 points adrift at the top of the table, but interim boss Ruud van Nissterooy has won one and drawn one in the Premier League, leaving him four points clear of the top four and a return to the Champions League can be pursued.

CBS CBS Ben Jacobs revealed that while Amorim's UK work permit has not yet been approved, it is certainly not a problem. The club will announce the full selection of the coaching staff after the visa is approved, and Amorim is expected to lead the team in training for the first time next Monday.

Most of United's players are either playing for the national team or on holiday this week, so the club is in no hurry to get Amorim's work visa. The latter will have a week to prepare for their opening game, away at Ipswich Town, but the international will not be able to return until Wednesday or even Thursday, making it more difficult.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that Amorim and his five coaching staff partners are very optimistic about French centre-back Leni Yoro, who has just turned 19, and believes that his development will be one of the keys to long-term plans. However, Yoro is afraid that he will not be able to play against Ipswich Town and his recovery is in the final stages, but he has not played for several months and his fitness and form are still in question.

Another high-profile protagonist is 27-year-old Manchester United Academy star Marcus Rashford, who will be interesting to see if he can make a place in Amorim's 343 formation. Premier League transfer expert Dean Jones has claimed that Amorim intends to put Rashford in his tactical number nine position, playing as a central striker rather than a more demanding wide position.

Many veteran United supporters may not support such an arrangement, as history has long shown that Rashford can only play as a central striker on the counter-attack, with only speed and no awareness or ability to carry the ball with his back and run in a roundabout position. This may be the last chance for Master Ra, and if he can't prove himself, he may be purged next year.

Amorim will give all players the chance to prove themselves, but not everyone has an equal chance. As an academy ace, if Rashford plays as a central striker, it will naturally not be good news for Dutch striker Zirkze, who joined for 42.5 million euros this summer, and his chances will be reduced accordingly. "Aware of offside" rumours, Amorim is ready to use Zirkze as a bargaining chip, plus a cash transfer fee, in exchange for his top scorer Victor Jekereish at Sporting de Portugal.
