Jose Mourinho will on Monday set about rebuilding his and Manchester United's reputation on his first official day as manager.
Mourinho, who announced himself to English football when winning at Old Trafford with Porto 12 years ago, was appointed successor to Louis van Gaal in May.
United won the 2015-16 FA Cup under the Dutchman, but finished only fifth in the Premier League.
Mourinho began last season at Chelsea as defending champions, but departed last December in acrimony.
He has already made two new summer signings and others are expected to follow.

Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are set to be joined by Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the Armenia midfielder who is to sign from Borussia Dortmund.
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has also been linked with a return to Old Trafford, and he could cost a world-record fee in the region of £100 million.
There will be interest in how Mourinho utilises young talent with England forward Marcus Rashford, 18, among those players at his disposal.
As well as incomings, there could be outgoings, although goalkeeper David De Gea looks set to remain at the club despite interest from Real Madrid.
Juan Mata, meanwhile, has been linked with a transfer to Everton after being sold by Mourinho to United when he was at Chelsea.
Mkhitaryan could join prior to Mourinho's first match in charge, in Shanghai against the Armenian's current employers Dortmund on July 22.
The first contest between Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Mourinho's United takes place in Beijing on July 25.
The pair endured a fractious rivalry while Mourinho was boss of Real Madrid and Guardiola led Barcelona.
Mourinho won La Liga with Real in 2012 before Guardiola's sabbatical and will hope he can continue to win the duel between the pair.
Last week, Ryan Giggs departed after 29 years at United to pursue his managerial career.
