And Pep Guardiola won't waste much time to show Manchester United that have gotten another Ten Hag in Ruben Amorim. If you think Amorim and his sporting Lisbon team are going to win Manchester city in the champions League then you are mistaken. There is nothing that Amorim is going to showcase that will favour him against Manchester city. He would have left Lisbon immediately he signed for Manchester United, so that Pep Guardiola and his Manchester city side won't expose him that he is not a top coach after all. He is just another coach that is been over hyped by the English media and after Manchester city defeat him and his Lisbon side you will hear a different story. Bournemouth played well yesterday, they didn't give city much chances. City were not at their best, but if you think they will remain like that against Sporting Lisbon, then you don't really know this Manchester city side. City will score not less than 3 goals against Amorim sporting Lisbon.
While there is definitely a huge chance that City will be able to beat Sporting quite easily, that doesn't mean Amorim is another Erik Then Hag. The problem with United is the fact that they are always trying to get players which "could" turn into a great star, and usually they are wrong and the squad is not good at all, and also psychologically the squad doesn't even play or care, they end up just being lazy even on the field, and not improving at all.
Amorim will have to change that when he goes to United and he would have to just rebuild from scratch slowly. But, this doesn't mean Sporting has to beat City, Sporting and United are different teams, just because City beats Sporting doesn't mean United hired a bad manager, hell even if City beats United when Amorim comes, that still doesn't mean they hired a bad manager. City is definitely at a high enough level that you do not consider anything when you are facing them and you compare yourself with similar level teams to you.
