MANCHESTER, England — The stage is set for Ruben Amorim as he prepares to take on the role of head coach at Manchester United.

The club recently achieved a convincing 3-0 victory against Leicester City in the Premier League, marking their fourth consecutive unbeaten match across all competitions under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Amorim is set to officially begin his tenure on Monday after fulfilling his notice period at Sporting Lisbon, joining a squad that appears to be in a considerably stronger position compared to when Erik ten Hag was dismissed at the end of last month.

Much of the credit for this positive turnaround goes to Van Nistelrooy, a former assistant to Ten Hag and an iconic striker for the club during his playing career.

During his temporary leadership, the Dutchman has achieved three wins and one draw, and the latest win has brought United to within four points of the Champions League qualifying spots.

Bruno Fernandes marked his 250th appearance for the club with a stunning curling shot from the edge of the penalty area in the 17th minute at Old Trafford.

In addition, his well-placed shot in the 38th minute was accidentally diverted into the net by Leicester’s Victor Kristiansen, putting United up by two goals going into halftime.

Alejandro Garnacho, who came off the bench, capped off the impressive display with a remarkable goal in the 82nd minute, launching the ball into the top corner from beyond the box.

As for their rivals, Nottingham Forest currently sits four points ahead of United despite suffering a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle at home.

Forest initially took the lead through Murillo’s goal just before halftime, but Newcastle made a comeback with goals from Alexander Isak, Joelinton, and Harvey Barnes.

In other matches, Ipswich celebrated their first league win this season with a 2-1 triumph over Tottenham.
