Ruben Amorim unexpectedly outperformed Manchester United on a day when the team easily defeated Leicester City 3-0 in a performance reminiscent of how most games used to go under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Too long had passed since the Old Trafford audience had seen a home league victory without being anxiously sweating over a lost lead, a squandered opportunity, or a send-off.
The stage was set for a violent day when Ruud van Nistelrooy acquired it in his last game as manager of Manchester United, and Sporting was scheduled to play 45 minutes later.
Braga, the team where Ruben Amorim established his name before Sporting signed him, was the opponent in his emotional farewell match as Sporting manager.
Sporting defeated Amorim in a close away match, ending Amorim’s winning streak. However, their method was the ideal “Man Utd DNA” kind of game.Sir Alex Ferguson’s Man Utd attribute is demonstrated by Ruben Amorim’s Sporting.Amorim’s farewell was getting sour at halftime. Sporting appeared to have already bid Amorim farewell as Braga led 2-0.
There were already a lot of stories. After a historically strong start to the season, his former team was about to deal him the final blow, removing his undefeated record.
However, after some back and forth at halftime, Sporting emerged with a point to prove, and the match that appeared to be a very good draw following Hjulmand’s goal in the 81st minute ended up being a 4-2 victory.In a style reminiscent of United’s many victories under Sir Alex, Harder scored two goals late in the game to give Sporting the victory.
Reminiscent of Sir Alex Ferguson’s goodbye, the players celebrated their outgoing manager after the game, demonstrating the close relationship he had developed with the players.
Morten Hjulmand said in a post-match interview that the Amorim factor was helping them focus. The dominant second-half performance was the result of their desire to leave his stint on a good note.
“It wasn’t Sporting standard in the first half,” he remarked. We talked at halftime and were thrilled to give Amorim a victory for his final game.
The fear factor and Man Utd DNA that Ruben Amorim must inculcateManagers who follow Sir Alex Ferguson have been sacrificed for almost ten years in the name of playing “The United way.”
It features fast-paced, attacking football played by youthful, dynamic players who excite spectators with a ferocious winning mindset and never-say-die attitude.
Some people are able to check off some of the boxes, but seldom the entire bundle. Most significantly, teams no longer visit or welcome United with the fear of being rolled, thereby losing the “Man Utd DNA.”
The comebacks were a major factor in why that used to occur under Sir Alex, and Sporting’s final match was the ideal homage to that phenomena.
The manager and the dressing room are the sources of mindset, the man himself has stated, and success, style, and Sporting cannot be directly transferred to United.
Half the work will be done for him if he can send that to this dressing room.
