THE SHARPE END: Ruben Amorim's Sporting obliterate Erik ten Hag's Man United in terms of stats... but can new boss replicate success at Old Trafford without a striker like Viktor Gyokeres?

Ruben Amorim will need to work miracles to turn Manchester United into his free-flowing Sporting Lisbon side.

But even the journey to get there should be more entertaining than watching them under Erik ten Hag.

Since the start of last season, Amorim's Sporting have enjoyed more of the ball than United.

Sporting have played more passes, played them more accurately, had more shots, faced far fewer, created better quality chances and conceded fewer.

Their three-at-the-back system is great to watch but can he get United's lot to play it?
