Amorim and Guardiola played each other recently
It was during Sporting-Manchester City in the Champions League, on November 5. Amorim's Sporting won 4-1… but he has since moved to Manchester United, in a much less well-equipped team.
Winning your first derby, a huge challenge
Manchester United's last 6 managers lost their first derby to rivals City. David Moyes, Ralf Rangnick and Erik ten Hag had even experienced very heavy defeats each time.

Onana – Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot – B. Fernandes, Ugarte – Mount, Amad, Hojlund
