New Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, will be given a reduced transfer budget to work with at the Premier League club, The Telegraph reports.

Amorim took charge of his first training session on Monday, as he prepares for his first game this weekend.

The 39-year-old replaces Erik ten Hag who was sacked after a 2-1 defeat at West Ham.

While there have been speculations that Amorim could be keen to bring some of his former Sporting players to United, it now appears that will not be the case.

But Amorim will be handed a reduced budget ahead of the January window, after the Red Devils’ lucrative summer spending under Ten Hag.

Ten Hag brought in the likes of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte in a spending spree that exceeded £200million.

The outlet claim that United chiefs are hopeful Amorim can get the best out of the the squad, as the club aim to end the damaging and costly cycle of mass overhauls.
