Ruben Amorim received an emotional farewell from Sporting Lisbon fans in his final home game before joining Manchester United, with supporters unfurling a massive 'Obrigado' banner celebrating his achievements. The highly-rated coach, who led Sporting to five trophies since taking over in 2020, will officially start his role at United on November 11, replacing Erik ten Hag. Despite initial anger over his mid-season departure, fans transitioned to acceptance and gratitude, showcasing their appreciation during a raucous atmosphere against Manchester City. Amorim quipped about expectations for his new role, humorously comparing himself to Sir Alex Ferguson should he secure a victory against City. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso received a warm welcome from Liverpool fans as he returned to Anfield with Bayer Leverkusen, touching the iconic 'This is Anfield' sign, highlighting his lasting connection to the club despite his managerial commitments.
