Amorim set for Man Utd bow, Man City aim to end slump

Author: AFP

Ruben Amorim takes charge of Manchester United for the first time in Sunday’s trip to Ipswich, while Manchester City are aiming to snap a historic losing streak for Pep Guardiola against Tottenham.

Fourth takes on fifth in another of Saturday’s eye-catching fixtures when Arsenal hope to kickstart their faltering title challenge at home to Nottingham Forest.

AFP Sport picks out some of the key talking points ahead of this weekend’s action: Manchester United fans have been made to wait three weeks for Ruben Amorim’s arrival since he was confirmed as the successor to Erik ten Hag. The Portuguese does not face a baptism of fire, but Ipswich are on a high ahead of the visit of the Red Devils after securing their first Premier League win for 22 years before the international break with a shock 2-1 victory at Tottenham. Amorim has plenty of problems to solve at Old Trafford, but begins with United only four points adrift of the top four despite sitting down in 13th.

Ten Hag managed just one win from seven away games in all competitions this season and Amorim must find a quick tonic to that travel sickness if he is to make a positive first impression with the United fans.

United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is confident his compatriot will quickly make a positive connection with his new players.
