The club said he would takeover the position on November 11, at the start of the next international break.

However, the two-time league winner with Sporting CP has been handed a different job title to his predeccessor.

Rather than being called a "manager", United's statement labelled him as a "head coach".

This marks a shift at United following the arrival of Ineos and the introduction of a true footballing structure.

It is the first time ever United have called the person managing the men's team a head coach, rather than a manager.

Every manager appointed prior to Ineos' arrival had been announced by the club as a "manager".

However, Man Utd Women boss Marc Skinner was handed the title "head coach" when he joined in 2021.
