Tears flow and fury grows as Ruben Amorim 'abandons' Sporting Lisbon

Shuffling up the steps from the Campo Grande metro station, there was an air of sadness that hung over everyone in green and white. For one elderly gentleman it soon became all too much.'It will indeed be a significant loss,’ he tells a local reporter before he bursts into tears. Strangers are offering out hugs. Shuffling up the steps from the Campo Grande metro station, there was an air of sadness that hung over everyone in green and white. For one elderly gentleman it soon became all too much. 'It will indeed be a significant loss,’ he tells a local reporter before he bursts into tears. Strangers are offering out hugs. Down by the bifana (a classic Portuguese sandwich) food trucks, arguments are breaking out about whether Amorim will face boos when he shows his face at the stadium. Earlier in the day at a supporters’ bar, Amorim memorabilia is being taken down and hidden away. One bar manager even instructs her bar tender to mute the television so as not to hear the word ‘Manchester’ on the live broadcast any more. Even without total confirmation of his departure come kick-off here, this League Cup match against Nacional was being treated as a day of mourning. It was too soon even for gallows humour when Mail Sport joked that the stress of Manchester United may well ruin Amorim’s thick head of hair. https://img.allfootballapp.com/www/M00/59/9C/720x-/-/-/CgAGVmchY1yAVOK-AAGWVyH8V5c439.jpg Others were not so magnanimous in their words; furious with a man they were now labelling as a ‘traitor’. ‘Anyone who abandons a project halfway through is not a man, he is a rat,’ one fan fumed to a friend as scarves adorned with his face spill out of a box on a nearby stall. ‘I hope that the man who spent weeks and weeks making the speeches he did does not run away like a rat.’ There were no discounts to the Amorim scarves or flags. €7.50 take it or leave it we were told. There should be some fresh ones in print ready for Sir Matt Busby Way in no time. This was a day where Amorim wanted to hide away, quickly realising that the joviality with which he started the day was not shared by others and he needed to abandon the happy-go-lucky show. Mobbed in the early morning as he strolled along in a beige cardigan and an unkempt white shirt, he offered up a charming smile and would not be drawn on reports of his talks with Ineos supremo Sir Dave Brailsford. Across the city, the short-and-sweet interview was playing on a loop to a despairing public. Sources here familiar with those talks detailed how Amorim was under no illusion that he wanted to be the next man to try and turn Manchester United around after they concluded. He headed for the sanctuary of the training ground by 10.05am, protected from the camera flashes by the bus’ tinted windows. And when he appeared at the stadium to lukewarm applause it was his head bowed, not that of supporters, as he sheepishly shuffled out onto the pitch. Pacing up and down his technical area like a child waiting to hear the punishment from their parents, he gave the impression of a man desperate for this charade of a match - which few seemed to care about with large swathes of empty seats - to end. He paused often, taking sips from a nearby water bottle, but was not the animated character many here are accustomed to. With eyes burning a hole in the back of his head he took up a crouched squatting position. By the time they opened the scoring early in the second half through Morten Hjulmund there was barely a flicker of emotion. Embarrassment perhaps the overriding one Amorim wanted to shrug off. ‘There are several factors that need to be analysed,’ commentator Mario Cagica told Mail Sport said passionately in the manager’s defence. ‘On one hand, you have to understand Ruben Amorim's side of the story. He has done a brilliant job at Sporting, perhaps the best coach in the club's last 70 years, and here he has a once-in-a-opportunity to take over a major European team in a context identical to the one he found at Sporting: a team that is lost and needs direction. ‘It's a good opportunity, a good challenge for Amorim and it's understandable that the coach has accepted the project at this stage because he could run the risk of the opportunity not appearing so soon again if things went wrong at Sporting.’ For fans words and defences of Amorim ring hollow. It was Monday when Amorim spoke of his pride at coaching Sporting. A determination to guide Sporting - who have won nine games from nine, scoring 30 and conceding only two - to a third league title under his watch. Less than 24 hours his bags were packed and he was ready to head for England. To many it stings. Andre is a lifelong Sporting fan that heads to this match with his Benfica-supporting friend Ruben. The jokes are endless coming from one direction. ‘At work I felt like crying,’ Andre told Mail Sport. ‘It feels wrong that he leaves now. I don’t care about this game, I don’t. I want Amorim to stay, we need him to stay.’ Fred, a season-ticket holder for more than 10 years, first jokes he won’t speak because everything about England has ruined his mood. ‘I am incredibly sad. The way he built this team, created this team, we just have to be happy he got to have a part in this story.’ There is an irony in the fact that going back to 2021, when Manchester United found themselves searching for a manager after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the question was put to Amorim if he was the right man for the job. ‘United? We are talking about rumours, my future is clear,’ he said that day. ‘I don't know how many names were talked about, I don't give much importance. If you allow me the opinion, United should take Ten Hag later this week. It was something that would make me very happy.’ Amorim was being cheeky then with Sporting about to face Ten Hag’s Ajax. Now it is ironic that almost three years on from that fateful response, it is Amorim United are turning to to clean up his recommendation’s mess. Funny how that works out.

Sporting fan bursts into tears live on TV after question about Amorim leaving

A SPORTING fan burst into tears when asked about Ruben Amorim's potential switch to Manchester United.The Portuguese has emerged as the favourite to take over at Old Trafford following Erik ten Hag's sacking. A SPORTING fan burst into tears when asked about Ruben Amorim's potential switch to Manchester United. The Portuguese has emerged as the favourite to take over at Old Trafford following Erik ten Hag's sacking. United are reportedly looking at several candidates including Thomas Frank and Gareth Southgate. But Amorim is their No1 choice and United are willing to trigger his £8.3million release clause. Amorim is said to be open to the switch too, which is not good news for Sporting fans. Supporters flocked to the Jose Alvalade Stadium ahead of their game against Nacional and some were asked about Amorim's future. One elderly fan burst into tears when asked about the prospect of the 39-year-old leaving the club. He was only able to muster a few words before clasping his hand his hand over his mouth, before wiping away tears from his eyes. Amorim is a popular figure amongst fans after leading Sporting to their first league title for 19 years. He followed up that success by winning the Primeira Liga again last season, and this term he has a 100 per cent record from nine games. Amorim has built a reputation for improving players while handing opportunities to young players - which bodes well for United's young talent. While he is described as a “master trash-talker” in press conferences – a genius in getting his message across, creating a narrative while deflecting pressure away from his players. As one source told SunSport: “There is no one like him.”

It will be a 'MIRACLE' if Paul Pogba can return to the top level, Petit claims

Former France World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit has said he is 'happy' for Paul Pogba after his doping ban was cut short - but claimed it will be a 'miracle' if he can return to the top level.Pogba was staring retirement in the eyes when he received a four-year ban from football, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled earlier this month that he inadvertently took DHEA, a substance that boosts testosterone that is on WADA's banned list. Former France World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit has said he is 'happy' for Paul Pogba after his doping ban was cut short - but claimed it will be a 'miracle' if he can return to the top level. Pogba was staring retirement in the eyes when he received a four-year ban from football, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled earlier this month that he inadvertently took DHEA, a substance that boosts testosterone that is on WADA's banned list. It is understood that CAS' ruling allows Pogba to recommence training in January 2025, with a view to playing again in March the same year. Fans are now waiting to see where the former Manchester United midfielder will be playing, with him understood to be in negotiations to leave Juventus - the club he is contracted to and last played for. And Petit, who is, like Pogba, a former World Cup winner with France, has exclusively told Mail Sport on behalf of BetBrain that he would be surprised if the 31-year-old's career continued at a top team. 'I'm very happy for him, very happy for him,' he began. 'But he's right now, 31 or 32, something like that, the last time he played a proper game was a year ago, in September. 'For me, it will be a miracle if he can come back at the highest level. He's got the quality as a footballer. Can he get the energy as a human being to fill the expectation? I'm not really convinced about that. 'What happened in his private life, has been an earthquake. I don't think a lot of people will have survived what he's been through, with his brothers, his friends. Can you imagine what happened to him? Now you can understand why he was not really good with Manchester United. Sometimes on the pitch, he was lost. But I can understand with what happened to him.' Pogba's brother and five other men will reportedly stand trial as part of an alleged extortion case that targeted the Frenchman two years ago. Pogba filed a complaint after he was kidnapped and robbed in March 2022 by two unidentified masked and armed men in Paris , who demanded €13m (£10.98m) for 'protection services'. After the original threat, the group were said to repeatedly intimidate Pogba and claim that he didn't support them after becoming an international star in order to get him to pay, as per Le Parisien. And, after two years of investigations, the Paris prosecutor's office confirmed that Mathias Pogba and the five men would stand trial. Petit added: 'If my brother betrayed me... I mean, football is important, but life is more important, and we're talking about life. 'I hope I'm wrong. Honestly, because I like him, I like his personality, and I like the player as well, but it will be a big miracle if he comes back at at the highest level. I wish him the best, honestly, but the damages of what happened have been terrible, honestly, terrible. 'I'm not sure that in England you you understand exactly what happened to Pogba over the last two, three years. It's a nonsense. I've never seen that before.' Petit also commented on France captain Kylian Mbappe, who has been at war with former side Paris Saint-Germain after leaving the club for Real Madrid in the summer for free. PSG are set to take their wage dispute with Mbappe to court after the French football league's governing body (LFP) ruled in favour of the forward. French media report the 25-year-old, who has not commented on the dispute, is seeking around 55 million euros (£46m) in salary and bonuses he says he is owed by the club. The Ligue 1 champions, however, say Mbappe's contract was 'legally amended' and that he reneged on commitments when he left the club to join Madrid. He has also been the subject of controversy in France in recent weeks having faced criticism in his home country for missing their Nations League games against Israel and Belgium while being available to play for Real Madrid. The forward picked up a muscle injury last month but made his return to the pitch prior to the international break. Though his team-mates have leapt to his defence, Petit has insisted that his reputation has been spiraling since he left for Spain. 'In space of one year, his image has been going down,' he said. 'A year ago, he was the main man here in France. Everybody loved him. But what happened with PSG, what happened in the national team as well, the fight, he was not there. 'His image has not been good at all in France for at least a year now, and it's going down, down, down every single week. 'He knows that he's under huge pressure at Real Madrid, the biggest club in the world. He knows the expectation over there. And this is likely the the priority of Mbappe. Mbappe actually is more focused on the Real Madrid than the national team. 'And I can understand that honestly, but he has to be very, very careful, because, in France, his image is not good at all.'

Newcastle 2-0 Chelsea: Blues crash out of Carabao Cup, Disasi nets own goal

Newcastle United cruised past Chelsea to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.<h2>2024/2025 League Cup</h2>An Alexander Isak strike, quickly followed by an Axel Disasi own goal, were enough to avenge their 2-1 defeat at Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday. Newcastle United cruised past Chelsea to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. 2024/2025 League Cup An Alexander Isak strike, quickly followed by an Axel Disasi own goal, were enough to avenge their 2-1 defeat at Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday. The game started at a frantic pace with Joelinton striking the post at one end before Renato Veiga's effort was deflected just wide at the other. Swedish striker Isak, who had netted just twice this season, opened the scoring from close range in the 23rd minute after Sandro Tonali intercepted a loose pass just outside the penalty area. The hosts doubled their advantage three minutes later when Joe Willock flicked on Isak's cross and Chelsea defender Disasi turned the ball into his own net. Enzo Maresca's side struggled to cope with Newcastle's pressing and were fortunate to go into half-time with just a two-goal deficit. Sean Longstaff thought he had headed in a third midway through the second half but the linesman's flag ruled it out for offside. Chelsea enjoyed more of the ball after the break, but were left frustrated when Joao Felix poked wide when one on one with Nick Pope. Substitute Noni Madueke made a decent impact, but boss Maresca, having left out Nicolas Jackson, also opted against introducing key man Cole Palmer from the bench. Newcastle substitute William Osula came agonisingly close to a third goal, but his low drive eight minutes from time struck the foot of the post. Newcastle have taken just 12 points from their opening nine Premier League games this season, but the crowd at St James' Park showed their appreciation following an impressive performance. The 2022-23 Carabao Cup runners-up are looking to win a major domestic trophy for the first time since lifting the FA Cup in 1955. The quarter-final draw will take place later on Wednesday following Tottenham Hotspur's tie against Manchester City. Quarter-final ties will take place during the week commencing 16 December.

Lionel Messi statement speaks volumes as French media pan Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe has been subjected to a fierce tirade from the French media after Manchester City's Rodri was crowned the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner over Vinicius Jr.Despite the Spanish midfielder's victory at the ceremony, the morning after has seen much exasperation with who didn't win after what was a controversial year for the award. One player who has woken up to much ire from his home country's press is Real Madrid forward Mbappe. Kylian Mbappe has been subjected to a fierce tirade from the French media after Manchester City's Rodri was crowned the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner over Vinicius Jr. Despite the Spanish midfielder's victory at the ceremony, the morning after has seen much exasperation with who didn't win after what was a controversial year for the award. One player who has woken up to much ire from his home country's press is Real Madrid forward Mbappe. In the run-up to the Ballon d'Or, many suspected Madrid's Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr would be handed the prestigious gong. However French tabloid L'Equipe has launched a verbal assault on Mbappe's failure to win the award and even offered up the comparison of Lionel Messi's record in the Ballon d'Or at the same age as the French star. "Mbappé will turn 26 in December. At that age, Messi had already won four Ballon d'Ors. The captain of France's national team will soon have to ask himself if he will ever win a Ballon d'Or," asserted the outlet. The French sensation was viewed as the successor to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's throne when he first burst onto the scene at Monaco, and though he is widely considered one of the world's best strikers around and already won multiple trophies in his career, L'Equipe's reaction to his latest failure to capture the gong sums up that faith in him is beginning to wane. Mbappe has seven nominations to his name and earned his first at just 18 years old. However, the journalist responsible for the article, Vincent Duluc, belittled Mbappe's recent achievements and claimed the striker has drifted from the game's "essence". "When we leave so few marks after a season as a Champions League semifinalist, Euro Cup semifinalist and 52 goals scored, it's because we're straying a bit from football's essence. Now, at 26 years old, he must return to it." he wrote. Duluc did not stop there either. The reporter also unleashed a rant against Real Madrid in an editorial entitled: "Ballon d'Or: Real Madrid's electoral and moral defeat." The piece criticised Madrid's choice to not send any representatives to the ceremony and even accused them of "lacking class". Nominated players from Los Blanco such as Vinicius, Mbappe, Dani Carvajal, Jude Bellingham, Antonio Rudiger and Fede Valverde all elected not to travel to the ceremony. Real also let rip a fiery statement to AFP saying: "If the award criteria doesn't give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to (Madrid defender) Carvajal as the winner."As this was not the case, it is clear that the Ballon d'Or-UEFA does not respect Real Madrid. And Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected." The regulations of the award took on a different look this year with organisers determined to keep the identity of the winner secret until the moment the envelope was opened. However, Duluc insisted that Madrid did not accept these rules, or simply knew the outcome and chose not to attend. The L'Equipe piece also challenged Madrid president Florentino Pérez's decision to skip the distinguished gala and insisted that Mbappe's wait for the trophy was collateral damage of Madrid's refusal to play ball with the organisation. While he did not receive the prize he coveted, Mbappe did share the Gerd Muller Trophy, an award for scoring the most goals in Europe, with Bayern Munich's Harry Kane. Despite winning six Ligue 1 titles with PSG and one with Monaco, a World Cup with France in 2018 and another final appearance in 2022, as well as a host of domestic trophies, Mbappe's wait to be awarded the Ballon d'Or goes on. At the same age as the Madrid star, Messi had four Ballon d'Ors under his belt after he took the award home in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. He would go on to win another four in 2015, 2019, 2021 and 2023 bringing his total to an astonishing eight wins of the esteemed trophy.

Juventus 2-2 Parma: McKennie & Weah score but Juve lose ground in title race

Juventus twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Parma on Wednesday, maintaining their unbeaten record this season but dropping to fourth in the Serie A standings.<h2>2024/2025 Serie A</h2> Juventus twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Parma on Wednesday, maintaining their unbeaten record this season but dropping to fourth in the Serie A standings. 2024/2025 Serie A Juventus are on 18 points, seven adrift of leaders Napoli, and slipped to fourth as Atalanta moved a point ahead after their 2-0 win over Monza. Parma are 14th on nine points. Parma, who have won just once this season, took the lead in the third minute through Enrico Delprato's header which Juventus cancelled out in the 31st minute with a Weston McKennie goal. Simon Sohm put the visitors back in front seven minutes later but Juventus again replied through a Timothy Weah volley four minutes after the break. Parma started fast and after working the ball across the pitch from a corner kick, Adrian Bernabe's cross into the box was nodded back across goal by Botond Balogh and Delprato headed into the roof of the net. Juventus should have drawn level 10 minutes later after Zion Suzuki saved a header from McKennie, but when the rebound fell to Dusan Vlahovic he somehow sent his shot over the bar. McKennie, however, made no mistake when Weah whipped a ball into the area, steering his header past the dive of Suzuki but Parma were soon back in front as Juventus struggled to deal with the pace of the visitors. Dennis Man collected a long ball in the area and pulled back the perfect pass for Sohm to drill past Di Gregorio and they held their lead until the break. Juventus's unbeaten record was on the line but they pulled level again shortly after the interval. Khephren Thuram powered through from midfield before passing to Francisco Conceicao out wide and his cross was volleyed home by Weah from close range. Parma created an opportunity late on, but Gabriel Charpentier was denied by Di Gregorio and in added time Juventus looked like fining the winner but Delprato made a last-gasp block to deny a goalbound effort from Kenan Yildiz.

Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed a winning start as Manchester United’s interim manager as his side thrashed Leicester to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.<h2>2024/2025 League Cup</h2>Two days after Van Nistelrooy was appointed as stand-in following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag, his pre-match demand for entertainment was met in full. Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed a winning start as Manchester United’s interim manager as his side thrashed Leicester to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. 2024/2025 League Cup Two days after Van Nistelrooy was appointed as stand-in following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag, his pre-match demand for entertainment was met in full. Casemiro started the fun with a sensational long-range strike and by half-time the Brazilian had another as he followed up an initial header that bounced off both posts by driving home from eight yards. In between those efforts, Alejandro Garnacho fired home his fifth goal of the season and skipper Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick deflected in off Leicester full-back James Justin. It wasn’t perfect from the hosts as old defensive frailties returned to allow Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to score before half-time. The latter effort came after the ball had struck Diogo Dalot and bounced invitingly for the former England man to apply the first-time finish. But in front of Sir Alex Ferguson, back at Old Trafford for the first time since being told he was being stripped of his paid ambassadorial role, and United’s powerbrokers who are aiming to replace Ten Hag with Sporting boss Ruben Amorim, the hosts always had an element of control. Fernandes added a fifth on 59 minutes when he took maximum advantage of Caleb Okoli’s under-hit backpass.
