Rubén Amorim will need to work miracles to turn Manchester United into his fluid Sporting Lisbon.
But even the journey to get there should be more entertaining than watching them under the direction of Erik ten Hag.
Since the start of last season, Amorim’s Sporting has enjoyed the ball more than United.
Sporting have made more passes, they have made them with greater precision, they have taken more shots, they have faced many fewer, they have created higher quality chances and they have conceded less.
His back three system is great to watch, but can he get United to play him?
Coach Rubén Amorim, 39, will join Manchester United from Sporting on November 11.
He will replace Erik ten Hag, fired on Monday after two and a half seasons in charge.
Viktor is at the top of the charts
Signing a striker as prolific as Viktor Gyokeres would undoubtedly help Amorim transform United.
The 26-year-old has scored 18 goals in 13 games, including FOUR against Estrela on Friday.
He has only failed to score in two games this season.
Viktor Gyokeres has scored 18 goals in 13 games for Sporting this season, including three on Friday.
