Ruben Amorim, the soon-to-be manager of Manchester United, has bid farewell to Sporting CP with a bang, orchestrating one of the most thrilling comebacks in football history. On November 10, 2024, Sporting CP pulled off a stunning 4-2 victory over Braga in Liga Portugal Week 11, after trailing 0-2 at halftime. The match showcased Amorim’s tactical genius and proved why he’s the perfect fit to take charge at Old Trafford.
The game was nothing short of dramatic, with Sporting CP overcoming a two-goal deficit after the break in a display of sheer willpower and brilliance. Ricardo Horta had put Braga in control with a first-half brace, leaving the Lions with a mountain to climb. However, what followed was nothing less than magical. Sporting came roaring back, scoring four goals in the second half to seal the victory in one of the most thrilling turnarounds of the season.
Hidemasa Morita, the Japanese midfielder, was the hero of the hour. Coming on in the 56th minute to replace Daniel Braganca, Morita wasted no time making an impact. Within just two minutes, he scored Sporting’s first goal of the match, a brilliant first-time strike from inside the box. His goal ignited a fire in his teammates, and Sporting’s offensive juggernaut quickly followed with three more goals to complete the incredible comeback.

His ability to read the game, make timely substitutions, and motivate his players under pressure is exactly what Manchester United needs as they head into a new era with Ruben Amorim at the helm. His future at Old Trafford looks brighter than ever, and fans of the club are already buzzing with excitement.
