from joe marler after he called it ridiculous. welcome to the programme. a week is a long time in football. just five days ago manchester united sacked erik ten hag — the club moved quickly to target this man and today ruben amorim has a week is a long time in football. just five days ago manchester united sacked erik ten hag — the club moved quickly to target this man and today ruben amorim has been officially announced as their head coach. he won'tjoin the club immediately, as he fulfils his obligations for his current portuguese side, sporting. but after so many failures since the departure of sir alex ferguson, will amorim be the answer? manchester united think so. they've described him as one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in european football. our reporter adam wild is at old trafford for us. very exciting for fans, but they are

in ruben amorim as coach. he's 39 years old. he's now won that league twice at manchester united. he's next in the hot seat. the club said they're delighted to announce amorim as head coach. his deal to 2027 starts in ten days' time. it means amorim will lead sporting for three more games before his exit. yesterday he faced the press ahead of a league match there. tonight, we will have clarification after the the game. it will be very clear. i just ask you what you like about the premier league in general. manchester united sit 14th in the premier league, form that brought the end of erik ten hag. the club's new co—owner sacked him on monday and then moved straight in for the portuguese coach. taking amorim from sporting meant paying compensation. this will be his first role outside his home country, and the team he transformed now have to say goodbye. i'm very sad. i'm very, very sad.
6:36 pm
sad because the it takes us a lot of happiness. i'm a little upset because, you know, it's not the right place for him right now. what he did with sporting, i believe he can do with other teams. he takes the players that he has and he improves them. after sir alex, it's been the difficult decade. five permanent coaches have now come and gone. but ruben amorim at sporting brought the end to a long wait. now at old trafford, the aim will be the same for manchester united. it's another new era. joe lynskey, bbc news. to scotland now where the pressure is building on rangers manager philippe clermont after their recent defeat to aberdeen put them nine points behind their opponants,
