Ruben Amorim insisted Sporting Lisbon’s stunning 4-1 rout of Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday does not guarantee any impact at Manchester United.

Sporting manager Amorim has accepted United’s offer to replace Erik ten Hag and will officially take charge of the troubled Premier League club on 11th November.

Regarded as one of Europe’s brightest young managerial minds, the 39-year-old delivered a superb show of his sharpness as Sporting 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.

Amorim, who led Sporting to two Portuguese titles in four years, will take charge of his first ManU game at Ipswich on 24th November.

But he sounded judicious to claim that one victory would ensure the revival of moribund United under his guidance. Manchester United had the worst start to a season since 1986-87.

“What I can tell you is that this doesn’t mean anything in particular, don’t take anything from this. It is misleading, we were very lucky today. We cannot transport one reality to another. Manchester United cannot play the way we play and we will have to adapt." Amorim said.
