Ruben Amorim downplays expectations ahead of Manchester United reign
Following a 4-1 victory over Manchester City, Ruben Amorim led Sporting CP to an impressive win before his upcoming move to Manchester United. The Portuguese coach will take over at Old Trafford after overseeing three more matches for Sporting.
Amorim cautioned against drawing comparisons to legendary manager Alex Ferguson, emphasizing the need for adaptation at a new club like United. He stated, “Manchester United cannot play the way we play and we will have to adapt.”
Amorim’s Sporting team showcased a 3-4-3 formation in the win, a system he has implemented since his early days as a manager. Despite the differences in playing style, he expressed excitement for the challenge ahead at United.
Amorim has managed Sporting for over 230 games, shaping the team to his playing philosophy over four years. Despite the differences in tactics, he is eager for the challenge at Manchester United, where he will face the first Manchester derby in December.
