Ruben Amorim teases Hugo Viana before the Manchester derby | OneFootball

Matchday four of the Premier League brings the Manchester rivals together in an intense clash. United and City go head-to-head, with a reunion between Ruben Amorim and Hugo Viana. Before the match, the former Sporting coach took a jab at the former sporting director of the Lions, admitting he wants the win,

"We’re at different clubs. We usually have dinner together, but we don’t talk about football. I’m red, he’s blue. We’re close friends and that won’t change. I want to win on Sunday, that’s it," guaranteed the former Sporting coach in his preview of the derby.

Ruben Amorim was asked about possible changes in goal, but assured there would be no changes: "Altay will continue. Lammens is a goalkeeper with a lot of potential, but for me, it’s clear that Altay will start," he said, before talking about André Onana, who has moved to Trabzonspor.

"I think we understood that a change was needed and, sometimes, it’s hard to explain why. Sometimes, it’s timing, bad luck at certain moments. Our idea was to make a change in goal, but I wish him all the best," admitted the former Sporting coach.

The Manchester derby is scheduled for next Sunday, September 14 and will be played at the Etihad Stadium, City’s home ground. Kick-off for the match, which pits Ruben Amorim’s team against Hugo Viana’s, is set for 4:30 p.m.
