CITY ROUT NOT AN INDICATOR: AMORIM
The Straits Times

Sporting coach credits luck for outwitting Guardiola, but is ready to have fun at United
-
LISBON - Ruben Amorim insisted that Sporting Lisbon's stunning 4-1 thrashing of Manchester City in the Champions League on Nov 5 does not guarantee he will be able to make an immediate impact at Manchester United.
The Sporting coach has accepted United's offer to replace Erik ten Hag and will officially take charge of the troubled English Premier League club on Nov 11.
Regarded as one of Europe's brightest young managerial minds, the 39-year-old Portuguese delivered a tantalising glimpse of his acumen as his team exposed injury-hit City's defensive weaknesses.
Phil Foden put City ahead in the opening moments at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, but the visitors wasted a string of chances to increase their lead and Sporting made them pay.
Viktor Gyokeres equalised before half-time and Maximiliano Araujo bagged the second after the break, before Gyokeres capped their incredible fightback with two penalties.
Amorim, who led Sporting to two Portuguese titles in four years, will take charge of his first United game at Ipswich on Nov 24. But he is far too astute to claim one victory proves he can revitalise the struggling Red Devils.
