Ruben Amorim faces a wait to start his job as Manchester United manager because he hasn’t yet been given a work permit.

The 39-year-old will travel to Manchester on Monday after taking charge of Sporting CP for the final time when the Portuguese league leaders face Braga.

But United are still waiting for Amorim’s permit to come through before he can begin in earnest and take training.

They have paid Sporting €11m in compensation for Amorim, including an extra €1m to get him before his 30-day notice period ended.

A work visa should be a formality but is still required. United ended Ruud van Nistelrooy’s reign as interim manager unbeaten and with three wins from four games as Leicester were beaten 3-0.

Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho scored either side of a Victor Kristiansen own goal. Amorim, meanwhile, beat Manchester City 4-1 in his penultimate match with Sporting to leave them second in the Champions League.
