**London, England –** Ruben Amorim’s high-profile move from Sporting CP to Manchester United is proving disastrous for both clubs. Three months after replacing Erik ten Hag as manager, United are floundering in 15th place in the Premier League, suffering eight defeats in their last twelve matches, including a recent 1-0 loss to Tottenham.
