Manchester United's Ruben Amorim faces challenges after Sporting Lisbon's heavy Champions League defeat

Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, faces challenges after his former team, Sporting Lisbon, lost 5-1 to Arsenal in the Champions League. This defeat highlighted Sporting's struggles without Amorim, who previously led them to a league title. Amorim's success at Sporting included breaking a 19-year title drought in 2021, a significant achievement compared to Erik ten Hag's tenure at Ajax. The comparison between the two managers has been criticized as simplistic, given the different contexts of their previous clubs. Despite the recent loss, Amorim's track record suggests he could bring similar success to Manchester United, which has not won a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson's era.
