'Amorim doesn't have expectations he cannot achieve'

Ruben Amorim has a really strong idea of what his football teams look like.

He knows what he wants, what kind of players he wants to bring in, what players he wants alongside him. Sporting didn't have an idea when he came - a project - and he brought one. Right now, the B team plays the same way as the A team.

High-pressure attacking football is one of the most obvious characteristics of Amorim's playing style.

A back three with two very wide players on the wings, a strong midfield, a front three with an offensive reference point, and two players in support with a high-press attack.

They are a very offensive team that only plays to score goals.

They are more concerned with scoring goals than conceding one, but Amorim is also very preoccupied with his back three and the strength of his defence. I think he is always more keen on winning 4-0 and 5-0 than 2-1.

He doesn't have expectations he knows he cannot achieve. If he is going to make this jump to the Premier League - to a club with the support, influence and importance of Manchester United - I think he knows he is ready to make this leap.

He has a close relationship with his players, a kind of dad-like manager.

There are a few players that have a high value in the European market. I think it will be more a case of him getting to Manchester United and seeing what kind of flaws they have.

Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres could be a target. Maybe not in January, but in the summer transfer window.
