According to *El Nacional*, Amorim has already prioritized defensive reinforcements, with former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen, currently at Barcelona, as his primary target for the January transfer window. Amorim reportedly sees Christensen as crucial to stabilizing United’s defense, citing the Danish defender’s experience and solidity as valuable assets. Since joining Barcelona in 2022, Christensen has struggled with injuries and limited playing time, which may open the door for a potential move to Old Trafford.

Before beginning his Manchester United tenure, Amorim faces two more matches with Sporting, including a Champions League showdown against Manchester City. When asked about the potential implications of defeating Pep Guardiola’s team, Amorim downplayed the idea of being seen as a hero by United fans, stating, “My focus is on winning the match for Sporting.” He expressed caution about the expectations that could arise from a victory, noting that it’s premature to draw conclusions about his upcoming role at United.

Amorim acknowledged that facing Manchester City will be a learning experience and shared that witnessing Guardiola’s tactics in person could offer valuable insights for future encounters in the Premier League. “One thing is to watch on TV; another is to see it live,” he remarked, looking forward to gaining a clearer perspective ahead of his new challenge with United.
