WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim has guided Sporting to two Portuguese league titles and two Portuguese League Cups, and <em>Record</em> journalist Filip Baleira claims that while the move would be a "risky" one for the 39-year-old, he says he is aiming to emulate his idol, Mourinho. While the current Fenerbahce boss was at United, he invited Amorim to intern at Old Trafford, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-ke/lists/what-jose-mourinho-has-said-about-apprentice-ruben-amorim-sporting-cp-man-utd/blt48bd42b6aa90b7d7" target="_blank">an invite he accepted</a>.</p>
