The Portuguese will officially take charge on Monday, November 11.
Amorim, 39, will join until June 2027 with a club option of an additional year, once he has fulfilled his obligations to his current club, the club said.
A statement released by the Red Devils described Ruben Amorim as “one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football”.
Highly decorated as both a player and coach, his titles include winning the Primeira Liga twice in Portugal with Sporting CP; the first of which was the club’s first title in 19 years.”
Amorim replaces Dutchman Erik ten Hag, who left his role on Monday, October 28 after the 1-2 loss to West Ham United.
