When Ruben Amorim was Manchester United coach, a handful of Sporting players were linked to reunite with the successful coach. Unfortunately, there was no success at Old Trafford – nor any Sporting players for the club. Ousmane Diomande was one of those mentioned as a United candidate. Now the 22-year-old is ready for the Premier League, but a two-hour drive from Manchester.
Oliver Glanser has gone directly from Conference League title with Crystal Palace, to Nottingham Forest. The Austrian coach will hopefully keep his job for the rest of the season (last season Forest had four coaches), the Diomande signing should give Glasner a reinforcement in the back row last season showed the club was lacking.
