The Portuguese w🔥ill ofಞficially take over the reins at Old Trafford on November 11, succeeding Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed last week following a poor start to the season.

Amorim masterminded Sporting CP's 4-1 vicꦚtory over Manchester City on Tuesday in what was hi🌠s final home game in charge of the reigning Primeira Liga champions.

The 39-year-old's pref🌠erred formation is 3-4-3, compared to the 4-2-3-1 system utilised by Ten Hag and continued by interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.

However, Onana insists U🐟nited's squad will have no problem adapting to the new tactics.

"I did watch [Sporting's game against City] yesterday, it was a great victory for them," the goalkeeper said ahead of United's Europa League cl𒉰ash with PAOK on Thursday. "It's a different system🦩, but my team-mates are all pragmatic.

"I think everyone ཧhere is capable of playing in each 🎃system, so I don't think this will be an issue for us. We have big players, they will step up."

Meanwhile, ahead of his penultimate ꩲmatch in charge, Van Nistelrooy provided an update💝 on pre-season signing Leny Yoro.

The defender, who is yet to make his competitive debut for the Red Devils, retur🤪ned to full training on Wednesday having fractured his foot in𝐆 August.

"He's been managed very well after✱ his injury in pre-season," the interim boss said. "Obviously, we knew it was going to be a long one.

"It's a big moment for him as it's the first time that he's been✤ back in full training. We will bring him back partially over the coming weeks, and look to get him on board as soon as possible."
