Manchester United are confident new head coach Ruben Amorim will receive his work permit well ahead of his first game in charge against Ipswich Town, a source has told ESPN.
Amorim has been appointed as Erik ten Hag's successor at Old Trafford, but the 39-year-old is waiting for a visa which will allow him to formally start work.
A United source said the process is "proceeding positively" and the club do not anticipate any issues which would prevent Amorim from being on the touchline at Portman Road on Nov. 24.
United are also waiting for visas for Amorim's staff before officially announcing the make-up of his backroom team.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, caretaker boss for the last four games following Ten Hag's dismissal, left the club on Monday.
Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also departed, but Darren Fletcher is set to stay on.
Amorim arrived in Manchester on Monday and was immediately driven to Carrington where he was met by CEO Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox.
On Tuesday, he met a group of players undergoing rehabilitation work at Carrington including Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount. The majority of the squad are either on international duty or on holiday and are not due to report back until early next week.
The Portuguse coach was given a tour of Old Trafford on Thursday.
A source has told ESPN that Amorim will not take part in a formal unveiling news conference and instead will face the media for the first time ahead of the trip to Ipswich. He is due to speak to the club's in-house television channel MUTV before then in his first interview as United's new head coach.
After taking charge against Ipswich, Amorin's first game at Old Trafford is set to be the visit of Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Nov. 28.
