New Manchester United manager set for home farewellAmorim says win could lead to ‘difficult’ expectations
The incoming Manchester United manager, Rúben Amorim, has claimed supporters will think he is the “new Sir Alex Ferguson” if his current side, Sporting, beat Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday and said that could make expectations around his impact at Old Trafford “difficult”.
City’s visit to the Estádio José Alvalade is Amorim’s last home game as Sporting head coach before taking over at United on Monday week. The 39-year-old’s opening match as Erik ten Hag’s successor is against Ipswich on 24 November and he will take his new team to the Etihad Stadium on 15 December for a first derby against City.
