The game began with a tribute to boxing legend Ricky Hatton who was a lifelong City fan. Then City ensured that the tribute was a good one by beating United 3-0. Amorim has his back to the wall with 3 losses in 5 games. However he still prefers to take the “head bloody but unbowed route“
“But I’m not going to change. When I want to change my philosophy, I will change. If not, you’ll have to change the men. And we will talk about that every game that we lose. So I play my way, and I’m going to play my way until I want to change.” ( A post match quote from the man himself)
