New United boss Amorim suffers awkward exchange with British reporter

New United boss Amorim suffers awkward exchange with British reporter

Incoming Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim refused to answer a British journalist in English in one of his final press conferences with Sporting Lisbon. Amorim insisted on speaking in his native Portuguese ahead of his final home game with Sporting, a clash with Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Sky Sports reporter Gary Cotterill repeatedly pressed Amorim - calling his refusal a 'cold shoulder to all your English fans' - but the Portuguese apologised, laughed it off, and continued in his mother tongue.
