Huge task for Amorim at Man United
Amorim will replace Erik ten Hag, who was fired on October 28 after a poor start to the season. The Sporting coach will have plenty of work to do at Old Trafford.
The English giants are 13th in the Premier League with 12 points after 10 games. They've registered just five victories this season.
On Tuesday, despite going behind, Amorim's SPorting tore Man City apart in the second half, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring a hat-trick.
Hojlund comments on Amorim
Amorim is expected to give Man United an identity, something they lacked under their previous coach. However, questions have been raised about the squad's adaptability.
He will lead Man United against Man City on December 15, hoping for his first Manchester derby victory. Hojlund said his three-man defensive approach will be new.
“From what I’ve seen so far, it’s a three-back chain, and it might be a little different from what I’ve been used to in the past. So it will be exciting to see how he will implement his ideas, and I am very much looking forward to working with a young and ambitious manager," he said via The Mirror."I don’t necessarily see it as a bad thing that he is young. On the contrary, it might even give something extra.”Fans hope that Amorim will unlock the 21-year-old striker who has struggled to score this season. The 39-year-old coach will lead the club for the first time on November 24 against Ipswich Town.
How Man United will play under Amorim

He stressed that he wants his team to play "without fear", meaning we will see a much more attacking style at Old Trafford.
