It’ll be a ‘different world’ at Manchester United, says exiting Sporting boss Ruben Amorim
The Portuguese, who moves to England next week, says his team’s 4-1 UCL win over Man City will have no bearing on how he goes at Old Trafford
Ruben Amorim insists nothing can be read into Sporting Lisbon’s stunning defeat of Manchester City as he prepares for a “different world” at Manchester United.
Amorim enjoyed the perfect send-off from the Jose Alvalade Stadium on Tuesday as his Sporting side came from behind to thrash City 4-1 in his final home match before taking charge at Old Trafford next week.
The 39-year-old will come up against City again in a Manchester derby in little over a month’s time, but he does not think Sporting’s remarkable Champions League triumph will have any bearing.
“This doesn’t mean anything in particular,” said the Portuguese, who will officially leave Sporting and head to Manchester after their game at Braga on Sunday.
“It’s misleading. We cannot transport one reality to another context. Manchester United cannot play the same way we do. We will have to adapt.
“When I arrive in Manchester, I will be living in a different world with a different starting point.
