Man Utd fans in meltdown over ‘Amorim way’ as video of Sporting scoring sublime goal from kick-off against City emerges

MANCHESTER UNITED fans are buzzing over the 'Amorim way' after Sporting's sensational team goal against Man City.

Sporting thrashed Pep Guardiola's side to inflict a third defeat in a row for the Citizens - their worst run for six years.

Viktor Gyokeres stole the limelight with a hat-trick, but it was Maximiliano Araujo's goal which captured United fans' attention.

It came immediately after half-time with the scoreline 1-1 after Gyokeres cancelled out Phil Foden's early opener.

From kick-off Sporting played the ball back to centre-back Ousmane Diomande, a £70million United transfer target, who then started a brilliant passing move.

Sporting moved the ball quickly from defence to midfield and Pedro Goncalves dropped his shoulder brilliantly to deceive Mateo Kovacic.

A clever run from Gyokeres dragged a defender away from his team-mate, with Goncalves moving into acres of space as he dribbled closer to goal.

He then slipped in Araujo who had also made a brilliant run, and the midfielder made no mistake with the finish as he fired beyond Ederson.

City were caught off guard, a rarity for them, and United fans are excited to see similar football under Amorim at Old Trafford.

One fan reacted saying: "His way.. the Amorim way."

Another added: "That’s Amorim ball."

A third wrote: "Now it's Man United Way 😁"

And another commented: "We hope this is what he's bringing to Manchester United."

Amorim has built a reputation for free-flowing attacking football at Sporting with his side scoring 52 goals in 17 games this season.

However, fans of the Red Devils who expect to see the same football at Old Trafford could be in for a shock.

Amorim last night said: "We cannot transport one reality to another.

"Manchester United cannot play the way we play, and we will have to adapt."

Some thought the Portuguese boss sounded like Erik ten Hag with his warning.
