      by

      RUBEN AMORIM’s start to life at Manchester United has been eventful, to say the least.Officially, the Portuguese boss, 39, will take control of his first training session next week – when his work permit is expected to have arrived.Ruben Amorim has had an eventful first week as Man Utd bossAmorim’s plane touched down in Manchester on MondayAmorim is greeted by CEO Omar Berrada at United’s training complexThe former Sporting Lisbon manager has not been able to work with his players at Carrington yet.It is understood United do not expect there to be any problems in Amorim obtaining the appropriate paperwork needed to start taking training sessions.However, even though he’s banned from the training pitch he’s certainly been busy in the interim – plotting moves from his base at the five-star Lowry hotel, where Jose Mourinho made his base during his tenure at OId Trafford.This included sacking a club legend, meeting fans on a stadium tour, and dining at a famous Manchester hotspot.Read more Man Utd newsSunSport looks at what Amorim has done so far.Arrives in ManchesterAlthough he is unable to share his methods with his players, he has made use of his time by familiarising himself with his new surroundings.Amorim arrived on Monday, via a private jet from Beja international airport that was the most tracked flight in the world on popular flight tracking site Flightradar24.He soon visited United’s training base and met CEO Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSGiven that many of his players are on international duty, those training sessions won’t be missed.Mason Mount and Leny Yoro, who are stepping up their comebacks from injury, were on hand to meet their new gaffer.Man Utd fans claim Ruben Amorim could be ‘new Jurgen Klopp’ after heartwarming gesture on stadium tourAmorim has already assembled a crack team of six staff members, who will join him on his journey.Assistants Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, Emanuel Ferro, as well as goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital, sports scientist Paulo Barreira, and analyst will join Eduardo Rosalino.However, there was one crucial decision that had to make regarding his coaching set-up.Sacks Van NistelrooyImmediately, as he soon as he arrived, a decision was made on Ruud Van Nistelrooy.The Dutch legend, a hero for many Manchester United fans, was keeping the Red Devils hot seat warm for Amorim, but he was soon dismissed.He signed off in style – with United winning 3-0 against Leicester City on Sunday.It capped off a decent run for Van Nistelrooy, who had overseen three wins and a draw as caretaker manager.Van Nistelrooy was keen to stay on in a coaching role at United, although Amorim saw it differently.Before he wielded the axe, Amorim told the press about Van Nistelrooy’s future: “About a legend of the club. He did a great job. I have to talk with him tomorrow.Mason Mount meets new boss Amorim at CarringtonClub legend and caretaker manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy was axed by Amorim”Then I will explain everything. I am very clear and I will tell you like it is. Let’s wait until tomorrow.”Posh noshHale village is a popular spot for Manchester United’s footballers.Many live close by and frequent the top eateries in the Cheshire area.One of the most famous is Italian restaurant, Cibo.Erik ten Hag was often seen dining there with his wife during his time in Manchester.And it seems that Amorim also got the same tip.This week, he was seen leaving the posh hotspot with several of his coaching entourage.With pasta dishes costing around £18, and meat dishes between £18-£37 – it would have been a costly bill.It has been reported that Amorim is set to make £6.5million-per-year at Old Trafford in a deal that runs until 2027.Amorim signs autographs outside Hale hotspot CiboCibo was a favourite of Erik Ten Hag’s and is a regular haunt for United starsread more sport featuresStadium tourAfter visiting the training ground and meeting senior staff at the club, Amorim then paid a visit to Old Trafford, itself.He was shown the media room by club staff – joking that it seemed familiar.”This is funny. I’ve watched this room many times,” he said.And in an incredible gesture, he popped in to see the public tour of the historic stadium.The club shared a video in which Amorim joined fans in the dressing room and made sure to give each of them a handshake.He said a couple of words to the fans in which he joked one would be playing and one would be on the bench.Fans hailed the moment on social media, which reminded some of when Jurgen Klopp arrived at Anfield.One posted: “Already more handshakes and hugs than Klopp during his first week in club. We are so clear!”A second commented: “Could be their Klopp if they get their s**t together to be honest.”A third wrote: “What a guy.”On Wednesday, Amorim took a tour of Old Trafford and sat in the media roomUnited’s impressive trophy cabinet was shown off to AmorimAmusingly, Amorim made United fans’ days by joining them on the club tourHis first injury blowBut, it hasn’t been all plain-sailing.When Erik Ten Hag was boss, he fell foul to a dreaded injury curse.And Amorim will be hoping that he will be luckier with the squad he has inherited.However, he was dealt with a huge blow regarding Lisandro Martinez’s fitness.The Argentinian defender had linked up with the international squad for their matches against Paraguay and Peru.But the defender was sent straight back to Manchester after national team medics discovered a “significant hip injury”.It is believed he picked up the issue in the 3-0 win over Leicester on Sunday but flew to join the Argentina squad before it was evaluated.Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man UtdWHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes Jordan Davies.Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers. The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won’t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.Many of Utd’s stars have been absent during training this week on international dutyLisandro Martinez may have given new boss Amorim an injury headacheReports in Argentina claim he felt “discomfort” after a coming together with an opponent.Despite completing 90 minutes, the pain has left him unable to “function normally”.Message to fansAmorim gave in his first interview as Manchester United boss on Friday evening.And he spoke of the ‘connection’ he already feels to the club and his determination to ‘do something special in a special club’.He said : “A lot of people talk about the 3-4-3, 4-3-3 and all that stuff. But when I think as a player or as a team-mate at United, it is not a system of formation.“It’s the character of the players, the way they see the club. So we have to focus on that before everything about how we play, how we press.“The most important thing for me at this moment is to create the principles, the identity and the character that we had in the past.“It’s about the team, that’s the most important thing for me, because if you work as a team, then the talent individually is going to shine.READ MORE SUN STORIES“But if I had to explain the important thing, it is the character, the way we fight, the way we play – we must have an identity.Life as a Manchester United manager has begun for Ruben Amorim.

      Tottenham and Wales star Brennan Johnson is tipped to stuff Turkey

      by

      BEN DAVIES wants Brennan Johnson to show his red-hot Spurs form for Wales.Johnson, 23, has eight goals in his last 14 games for club and country, including a stunning run of six in a row for Tottenham.Ben Davies will captain Wales in their Nations League clash with Turkey on SaturdayCredit: AlamyDavies attended a McDonald’s Fun Football session at Cheshunt FCThe forward has netted just four times in 31 caps at international level.But defender Davies reckons his Spurs pal is ready to transfer his dazzling club displays to the Dragons. Wales take on Turkey in the Nations League today and Davies, 31,said: “When you come into the team at international level it does take a bit of time to get going.“You make a few substitute appearances at the start but now Brennan’s got a pretty settled position in the team.read more in football“We know how dangerous he can be and if we want to be successful,he’s definitely going to be a big part of that.“He’s blessed with pace and that’s a nightmare for defenders — he’s a proper difficult opponent. “I’d much prefer to have him on my team. “He’s a player that the moment you switch off, he can take advantage because he’s so disciplined in his positioning and timing.”Most read in FootballDavies added: “It was a matter of time before it all clicked. “He creates chances and always looks threatening. He works hard, he’s a great guy and he deserves his success. I’m absolutely delighted for him. “If he keeps putting the ball in the back of the net, then that’s all we can ask for.”With Kieffer Moore out with a calf injury, Johnson will spearhead Craig Bellamy’s attack for the Group B4 tie.Defender Davies is set for his 91st Wales cap when he leads out his country in Turkey today — one behind legendary keeper Neville Southall.But he has never forgotten his Swansea roots.Davies says life has not always been glitz and glamour after he recalled how he used to train on local parks and beaches when he was in the Swans’ academy.The Tottenham defender, with nearly 300 Prem appearances, was one of SEVEN past and present Swansea stars who played in the 1-0 Nations League win over Montenegro last month.He was joined by Ben Cabango, Joe Rodon, Josh Sheehan and Liam Cullen in the starting line-up, while Ollie Cooper and Joe Allen came on as substitutes.That impressive figure is up to NINE in Craig Bellamy’s squad for the crunch trip to Kayseri, with the additions of Connor Roberts, Rhys Norrington-Davies and fit-again Dan James. It would be TEN but for midfielder Cooper’s foot injury. Davies, who has lived in London for a decade, says the strength of feeling for where it all started is highlighted by the fact his son Ralph has a Swansea kit. The Neath-born ace said: “It’s important not to forget your roots and remember where you are from.”Most of us came through that academy and it wasn’t like the one they have today or a lot of the clubs in England.“We were training a couple of times a week in the evening, anywhere we could get a pitch.“We were on Astroturf pitches, in local parks or even down the beach some days. “It wasn’t the luxury that some of the academy facilities are now.“But it was an amazing time. We had some great coaches who gave us every opportunity.“The club has done pretty well and managed to make some sales because of the quality of the boys out of the academy.“And you are also seeing those boys still there are now the heart of the Swansea team.“The guys have done an incredible job. It’s a proud place to come out of.”Davies, who attended a McDonald’s Fun Football session in Cheshunt near Spurs’ training ground, will skipper Wales in the absence of the injured Aaron Ramsey.He will go level with Southall — fourth in Wales’ all-time appearance list — when Iceland visit Cardiff on Tuesday night. Davies is well short of Gareth Bale’s 111-cap record but he reckons another Dragons star will smash all before him.He added: “I’m proud about my number of caps. Playing for Wales is a big honour.“When I started as a 19-year-old, it would have been an absolute dream to get this many.“I’m definitely looking at 100 but I still have the perspective of how good it is to have as many as I have already.“It’s nice to see the core of us that have been the mainstays of the team for the last eight to ten years.“When you get close to these milestones we will look back and say it was a good time for Welsh football.“Injuries permitting, I want to play for Wales as much as I can. That’s my mentality. I love playing for my country.” On beating Bale’s record, he added: “We will see where we get to. But you can’t dwell on things like that.“Even if I do get there then Ethan Ampadu is coming at 24 with 54 caps and he will demolish us all!”Wales are unbeaten in four matches under new boss Bellamy. Victories today and against Iceland will seal promotion to League A.READ MORE SUN STORIESDavies added: “It’s been a successful campaign so far. We’re going into the games looking to try and win the group — that has to be the aim.”l Ben Davies was celebrating the latest McDonald’s Fun Footballsessions this autumn, available to all children aged 5-11.

      Bethany England backs ‘underdogs’ Tottenham to find their mojo in derby duel with Arsenal

      by

      BETHANY ENGLAND would love nothing more than a return to Sarina Wiegman’s England fold. But on Saturday the Tottenham captain’s focus will be on attempting to lead her team-mates to a derby victory over Arsenal. Tottenham hope to pick up their third win in the league this term when they host Arsenal at Spurs StadiumCredit: GettySpurs’ last WSL outing ended as a 4-0 away loss to Man City following a derby win against West HamCredit: GettyArsenal won their last league encounter against Tottenham at the Emirates avenging their first loss to their neighbours in the WSL last DecemberCredit: GettyThe 1:45pm clash at Spurs Stadium will take place three days before Wiegman’s squad announcement ahead of the Lionesses’ two final matches this year. Up first is a November 30 friendly clash with the United States at Wembley followed by a Bramall Lane match against Switzerland on December 3. The last time England, 30, featured for the Lionesses was as a substitute last August, when they competed in a World Cup final for the first time. A hip injury following the team’s 1-0 loss to Spain in that game, kept the striker sidelined for the first three months of last seasonRead More Football StoriesEngland, who was part of Wiegman’s 2022 Euros winning side, has not featured for the national side since. And while an international return before next year’s European Championships would be “amazing”, the Spurs’ skipper’s focus is on her club’s performance. England, who has 26 senior caps, said: “Obviously I’d love nothing more than to be named in that squad. “The next international camp is coming up and it’s up to Sarina (Wiegman) . Most read in Football”I can only control what I can control and make sure when I am on the pitch with Tottenham, I’m doing the best that I can. “We all know how football works and I’ve had a really amazing time with England. “Whether there will be more time in the future, I would welcome that with open arms. “All I can do now is control my own performances at my club.”Since joining Tottenham from Chelsea last January for a then British-record WSL transfer fee England has been influential in their recent history-making moments. Among them is captaining the side to a first North London derby victory in the top tier last December and leading them to an FA Cup final for the first time in May. The beauty of the game is so many things can happen and being the underdog isn’t always a bad thing. Bethany England Tottenham’s 1-0 win against Arsenal last December was preceded by England’s return to action from her hip injury in an away clash with Manchester United. A duel that Spurs, who are seventh, lost 4-0 before winning their next four games across all competitions. England, whose side have one win from their last four games, adds: “We were able to come off the back of an even worse defeat last year and turn it around. “I don’t see why it’s not impossible to do it this time. Both teams are going in (to this game) in different situations. “Arsenal haven’t had the best of runs (in the WSL) either but they’re going into the game off the back of a 5-0 win (against Brighton). “It’s going to be a completely different mindset for them coming to this compared to us. It’s not an impossible task.”Under Renee Slegers, the Gunners’ form has improved with the team having won four of their five games under their stand-in boss. However, England, who has scored twice in seven WSL games this term, said: “We’ve beaten them before. “We have the calibre of players to be able to do it again. But we won’t underestimate them.”Hopefully this week we can show we can step up our form and get the win.”With six points currently separating third-placed Brighton from Tottenham, England feels the competition this term is an exciting one for neutrals. And the striker who recorded a Transport for London announcement for fans arriving at White Hart Lane station tomorrow, believes a Spurs win could be a turning point for their season. She said: “For me it’s nice to see different teams being near the top. “It shows how much the game is growing and it’s not always going to be the same teams in (third or) fourth. “It makes it more exciting and interesting to the fans who watch us.”The beauty of the game is so many things can happen and being the underdog isn’t always a bad thing going into a game like this one. “If this can be the turning point for us, it will change the trajectory of our season. “We’ve just got to find our mojo again. Hopefully we can bring that this weekend.”Since head coach Robert Vilahamn took charge of the team last July, Tottenham have undergone a bit of an overhaul.Among the seven players who sealed Spurs transfers this summer are Australia forward Hayley Raso, 30, and Spain midfielder Maite Oroz, 26, who like Raso, joined from Real Madrid. And young Lionesses defender Ella Morris, 22, made a June move from Southampton. Morris’ England Under-23’s team-mate Lenna Gunning-Williams, is among the promising prospects to have come through Tottenham’s academy ranks in recent years. Lenna Gunning-Williams has made four top-flight appearances for Tottenham so far this termCredit: AlamyThe London-born forward, who joined Spurs at 16 and scored 38 goals in 39 games for their Under-21s, has made four substitute appearances for their WSL side. This followed her making her senior Tottenham debut two years ago ahead of a season-long loan move to Ipswich last term England said: “I also want that family environment for the youth coming through.”It’s important for the youngsters to know they’re having to work just as hard because this league is getting harder and harder every year.”You look at Lenna – she’s coming on in a lot more games and was on loan last year. Arsenal have gone five games unbeaten across all competitions following Renee Slegers taking charge of the team last monthCredit: Getty”She’s come in this season, put in some good performances and helped us get the win at West Ham. READ MORE SUN STORIES”You’ve seen the youth development here and this club has got huge ambition. “To be a part of that ambition and the history going forward is a huge honour for me.” More
