On Tuesday, the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League will start.

An intriguing match awaits in Lisbon, where the future "Manchester United" coach Ruben Amorim and his "Sporting" team will try to challenge the players of "Manchester City."

R. Amorim has long been mentioned as a real candidate to replace Pep Guardiola at "Man City" if the latter decides to leave the club next summer. However, the Portuguese ultimately accepted the offer from "United."

Before the match with "Man City," R. Amorim stated that he got the job he had always dreamed of.

"Thoughts of working at 'Man City' were in my mind, but when accepting the offer from 'Man Utd,' I had no doubts.

I made the decision and will work at the club I wanted to work at. My only goal was precisely 'Man Utd,'” said R. Amorim.

The strategist also did not underestimate the Tuesday match against "Man City."

"The conclusions that people will draw after this match do not interest me much.

Of course, if we do not win against 'City', people's expectations will decrease somewhat. If we win, fans will think that a new Sir Alex Ferguson is arriving, and it will be very difficult to meet such expectations.

However, I am not interested in what conclusions will be drawn. I just want to win this match and then start working in Manchester,” added R. Amorim.
