See Hugo Viana representing Manchester City at the Sunday derby at Old Trafford will take the attention of Ruben Amorim to the importance of his relationship with Jason Wilcox being the key to the search for the fortune of Manchester United.
Amorim and the sports director Viana were the dream team of Sporting Lisbon, helping them to win two champion titles before being poached by various rivals of Manchester.
The technical director Wilcox is also relatively new to United, but assumes more responsibilities on recruitment after the surprise of Dan Ashworth.
With United Hackstrung on the transfer market by the PSR and the Sir Jim Ratcliffe co -owner, lifting the alarm concerning financial losses, they must be cute with the purchases of players and sales.
“We must have an excellent connection,” said Amorim. “I had so much chance of working with Hugo. It is not exactly the same thing but it is more or less the same relationship with Jason, so in this department, I am completely relaxed.
“At Sporting, it was a different context, here the competition is completely different. But we have to be really good in recruitment.

“We have to know our system, our way of playing, and the players must be perfect for this position. We know what to do, we will see next season.
United has been strongly linked to a certain number of players, including the sports striker Victor Gyokerres and the Dortmund midfielder, Felix Nmecha, but will also have to unload the players. Although the club hopes that Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho – All currently on loan – can provide transfer fees, the nuclear option is to have one of their young very common locals, Kobbie Mainoo or Alejandro Garnacho.
The emergence of the teenager Ayden Heaven at the rear reduced the urgency to add another central defender with Lisandro Martinez also back.
“I am really excited for next season and already really stressed because I was putting us a lot of pressure,” said Amorim.
“We have bad luck with injuries, but everyone had some in the Premier League, so I don’t like to focus on this.
“Sometimes, because of the injuries, you discover something else that will be important in the future. I found that Garna (Garnacho) can play on the right. I discovered that Ayden was ready to stay in our team and maybe we can change the way we go to the market. There are always good and bad things.
AMORIM is looking to perform a personal triplet of victories against City this season to have beaten them in the Champions League with Sporting, then benefit from a return inspired by Amad Diallo for United at ETIHAD.
“I must tell you, they may have been lucky,” smiles the united boss. “The first game was lucky. In the first half, it could have been 4-0 for them and we won 4-1.

“The second match when we won in the last seconds, I think I preferred it. I think they controlled possession a little more, but we fought with Manchester City.
“Of course, we need more than luck this time because it drops!” We are prepared for the game and we improve in certain aspects of our game.
“Sometimes the results are not there but we improve – and I can see it. So let’s continue this idea.
“We know that it will be a different game from Nottingham Forest (which United lost 1-0 Tuesday), so we have to adapt the way we play and we work there.”
