Ruben Amorim’s first unofficial audition for Manchester United was a roaring success.
Facing a tough Champions League fixture at home against Manchester City.
Amorim knew everything would have to go right to secure a victory.
The match started badly for the future United coach, with Phil Foden putting City ahead within just five minutes.
Sporting initially struggled to gain a foothold, and it looked like an uphill battle.
But everything changed when Victor Gyokeres equalised on a counterattack just before halftime.
At the break, Amorim made a few small but decisive adjustments that completely altered the game.
Recently, Manchester City had shown some vulnerability to defensive transitions, and Amorim’s tactical tweaks exploited this weakness, making Sporting look dangerous with every counterattack.
Sporting eventually went on to win 4-1, a truly unprecedented result against the best side in the world.
Notably, the four goals Sporting scored against Manchester City were twice as many as ten Hag’s United managed to score against City at home throughout his entire reign.
While Amorim acknowledges that his side had a bit of luck, this victory has already ignited excitement among United fans.
With Amorim set to arrive on November 11th, United supporters are hopeful he can bring this form to the Premier League.
So, what exactly did we learn from Ruben Amorim’s emphatic win over Manchester City?
