THANKFULLY Ruben Amorim has something better to this afternoon than watch his new Manchester United side in action.
Like manage his old team, Sporting Lisbon, against Braga, in what will be his final act before heading to Manchester.
Which saves Amorim from having to view Joshua Zirkzee through his fingers, from behind the sofa of his Lisbon home.
Because this is the safest place to witness Zirkzee in action.
Of all the problems Amorim has inherited as Erik ten Hag's successor, Zirkzee has to be one of the biggest.
One of the truly great mysteries of the Premier League is why United decided to spend the thick end of £40million on him.
Not to mention giving him a five-year contract worth another £28m.
Zirkzee might be a Holland international, but he resembles a pub player or competition winner. Or both rolled into one. How long did the new brains trust at United spend doing due diligence on Zirkzee?
