Cristiano Ronaldo has wished Ruben Amorim ‘good luck’ as Manchester United manager. Amorim started life as United’s new boss this week following the club’s decision to sack Erik ten Hag earlier this month.

Amorim is expected to move United to a back three for his opening game at Ipswich with two hard-working midfielders—former player Manuel Ugarte included—offering an aggressive buffer ahead of the back line. The switch should offer more defensive solidity from the outset.
