Ruben Amorim has already poked light-hearted fun at Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes ahead of his arrival at Old Trafford. Fernandes left Sporting months before Amorim was appointed, but the pair will finally get the chance to work together when the incoming boss takes the reins at the start of the international break.

Fernandes polarises opinion in the British press. Just hours later on Match of the Day, former England international Danny Murphy singled the Seleção man out for praise when assessing the Chelsea game, with fellow pundit Phil Jones agreeing that the former Sporting man deserves credit for being at the heart of most of United’s best attacking play.
