Manchester United confirm that Rui Faria will be Jose Mourinho's assistant manager at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have officially unveiled the backroom staff that will assist Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

As expected, Mourinho's long-term associate Rui Faria will be the Portuguese's assistant in the dugout, with the 41-year-old working alongside Mourinho for the seventh time.

Silvino Louro, Ricardo Formosinho, Carlos Lalin and Emilio Alvarez also join the team, while United have also said that analyst Giovanni Cerra will play a leading role behind the scenes at the Premier League side.

The news comes less than a week after it was confirmed that Ryan Giggs would end his 29-year association with United after previously working with Louis van Gaal before the Dutchman's departure.
