THE WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART
What a difference a day makes. While yesterday’s Football Daily teased the tantalising possibility that Rúben Amorim might reject the coquettish advances of Big Sir Jim, Call Me Dave and assorted other members of the Ineos Brains Trust, this morning it was revealed that the Sporting manager will indeed succeed Erik ten Hag as Manchester United, albeit at a time of his current club’s choosing. Amorim is set to parachute into Old Trafford during the next interlull, which begins on 11 November and it is to be hoped some club liaison officer is on hand to greet him at the airport and pin a poppy to his lapel for fear he causes immediate offence and has to face accusations of forgetting to remember.
