Ferdinand believes Guardiola will be scared after Amorim's arrival at Man United
Sporting CP’s remarkable 4-1 win over Manchester City was one of Ruben Amorim’s final matches as manager of the Lisbon club before he takes on the helm at Manchester United. This win earned Amorim praise from English football experts.
Details: Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes that Pep Guardiola, now set to be Amorim’s rival, might view the new United manager with a sense of apprehension after such a significant defeat.
Quote: "I’d love to be in the Manchester United team’s WhatsApp group, because if they weren’t watching that match, they’re crazy. The conversations those guys must be having now, wow.
I’m sitting there as a player and thinking, why isn’t he coming tomorrow? I need him here now. I don’t want to get carried away, but I want to bring back the good times. It’s been too negative and dreary in recent years.
We need a bit of sunshine, and hopefully, this man can bring it. But it will take time; it’s not an overnight job. But Pep will be scared," Ferdinand said on TNT Sports.
