Rúben Amorim expressed his satisfaction with Sporting's impressive 4-1 victory over Manchester City, calling it a perfect way to conclude his tenure as head coach at home. However, he cautioned that his approach at Manchester United will need to differ significantly from that of the Portuguese champions. Amorim emphasized that United cannot adopt the same defensive style that characterized Sporting's play. "We cannot transport one reality to another," he stated. "United cannot play the way we play; they cannot be so defensive. While it's great to achieve a win against City, I will be entering a different environment, and we will need to start from a different foundation."

Rúben Amorim, the recently appointed head coach of Manchester United, reflected on his final match with Sporting Lisbon, where his team delivered a stunning 4-1 victory over Manchester City. This win, marked by a hat-trick from Viktor Gyökeres and a goal from Maximiliano Araújo, was a memorable farewell for Amorim, especially as it handed City their first Champions League defeat of the season. Despite the impressive performance, Amorim cautioned that he cannot adopt the same defensive style at Manchester United that he employed at Sporting. He emphasized that the tactics that worked for the Portuguese champions will not be suitable for the Premier League giants. As he prepares to take the helm at Old Trafford on November 11, Amorim is aware that the expectations and demands of managing United will require a different approach.
