United posted a series of social media pictures showing Amorim meeting players, executives and some fans who were on a tour of Old Trafford as he entered the home stadium's dressing room.
He has also tried to delve into the club's storied past. Not just the record 20 English titles and three European Cups, but also the dark days of the Munich air disaster and the rise to fame under Sir Matt Busby.
Although most fans were not alive at the time, Amorim believes it is important for players to understand the importance of the club they play for.
“You see the trophies and the tragedy that we experience as a club,” he said. “You understand the story, after the crash we were European champions. It’s important to bring this strength into the team.”
“When the players come here they should do the same tour. This is very important. You have to feel like this is Manchester United.”
With the players he met earlier in the week, including England trio Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount, all undergoing rehabilitation, it will be next week before Amorim really gets to work.
Alejandro Garnacho and Manuel Ugarte are due to play in South America for World Cup qualifying in the early hours of Wednesday morning UK time. Therefore, it will probably be Friday before he has assembled his entire squad to prepare for his first game as manager in Ipswich on November 24th.
Amorim accepts that not everything will turn out to his satisfaction. But he promises fans that they will see a team that is inherently his.
“The most important thing for me at this moment is to create the principles, identity and character that we had in the past,” he said.
“We will focus a lot on our game model – how to play, how to press, those little things. You can't go 100% into every detail because it will be confusing for players. But if I have to say one thing, my goodness.” My main goal, my first goal, is identity.
Amorim's appointment will be decided against the backdrop of United's new structure, which ranges from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, board member Sir Dave Brailsford, chief executive Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox.
Berrada was the driving force behind Amorim's appointment, with Ashworth and Wilcox being the executives he will work most closely with.
Amorim says he feels there is already a strong connection and he sees the excitement around Ineos' wider plans for the club.
“We want to do something special in a special club – that was a crucial point,” he said.
“When Manchester United told me about their plans they were really excited. We know that when the team is playing well and winning games, everything looks a lot better and people really start to believe in the new stadium and new ideas.”
“It’s a real honor that I was the first choice to pursue this path.”
