Sporting thrash Manchester City in coach’s home farewellAmorim to take over at Old Trafford on 11 November
Rúben Amorim said Sporting’s 4-1 rout of Manchester City was a dream way to sign off in his last home game as head coach but warned that when taking over Manchester United he cannot be as “defensive” as the Portuguese champions.
After Phil Foden opened the scoring, Viktor Gyökeres’s hat-trick and a Maximiliano Araújo strike handed City a first Champions League loss of the season. Yet Amorim was clear the result will mean nothing when he starts at United next week.
