Amorim was linked with City amid Guardiola uncertaintyManchester United manager faces first derby on Sunday
Ruben Amorim has insisted he never spoke to Manchester City about becoming Pep Guardiola’s replacement as the Manchester United head coach prepares for his first derby game in charge.
The 39-year-old established himself as one of Europe’s finest up-and-coming coaches with his transformational work at the Portuguese champions, Sporting. United quickly moved to appoint Amorim after sacking Erik ten Hag in late October, when he had been linked to City amid uncertainty over Guardiola’s future.
