“If someone doubts that” – Bruno Fernandes makes bold statement about new Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim

While a title charge won’t be expected straight away under Amorim, his long-term remit will be to return United to the pinnacle of English football. The 39-year-old arrives with a good pedigree after guiding Sporting CP to two Portuguese titles in four years following a drought dating back to 2002.
