Anyone remember the last time Manchester City conceded four goals and lost by three goals? Not that, no. The day when Donald Trump was elected president will be the new “anniversary” for city rival Manchester United. Because it was an incoming United coach who was behind the feat. Itself, Amorim tries to calm down expectations.

“What I can say is that this result doesn’t mean anything special (for Manchester United). Don’t take anything away from this. We cannot transfer one reality to another. Manchester United can’t play the way we play and we have to adapt,” Amorim began after the City game.

“I want to take this with me, but when I come to the Premier League it’s a different world and a different pressure. I will try to be the same. It will be very, very fun, and I am ready for the challenge, says “City-dödaren”.

The Portuguese says the big win against Manchester City doesn’t mean anything to United, but Amorim underestimates the importance of replacing Guardiola. With the victory, the coach has ignited hope and optimism among United supporters. They need that when they have to scroll a looong way down the Premier League table to find their club.

With hope and faith comes the energy Manchester United players and supporters need to open up for Amorim football.
