The caller Manchester United caput manager has lone been successful spot for 11 days, but the rumour mill has already kicked into gear. Amorim has been continuously linked with moves for his stand-out players astatine Sporting Lisbon, with Viktor Gyokeres the main among the players who could travel him to Old Trafford.

But the 39-year-old coach’s power extends beyond conscionable Sporting, wherever helium spent 4 precise palmy years and won 2 league titles. He has a large instrumentality successful northbound London, having played a immense relation successful the improvement of Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro.

"Look, I person been astatine the nine 20 years now, I person signed 4 oregon 5 declaration extensions and nary of those person been played retired successful public,” Alexander-Arnold said successful September. “And this 1 won't beryllium either. I privation to beryllium a Liverpool subordinate this play (as a minimum) is what I volition say.

"The astir important happening is ever trophies, if I americium honest. I privation to triumph trophies, I americium a subordinate who is highly motivated by trophies and winning things and being elite. So that is astir apt the main origin of anything, if you person a property that is elite, who wants to triumph and volition bash thing to win, past that is what drives me."
