MANCHESTER, England -- A big week for Ruben Amorim has started with another set-back.
Two cup games in the space of five days -- one against Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round, the other against Real Sociedad in the Europa League round of 16 -- offered Manchester United and their head coach hope that something can yet be salvaged from this miserable season. Fulham, though, had other ideas and after a 1-1 draw played out over a tense 120 minutes short of any real quality, it was Marco Silva's side who prevailed 4-3 on penalties.
