'Marcus Rashford, take note' - Ruben Amorim gets same Man United warning from national media
Ruben Amorim does not become Manchester United's head coach for another three days, but you would not know it from the reaction to Thursday's Europa League game against PAOK.
Amorim arrives on Monday fresh from his final match coaching Sporting against his former club, Braga, on Sunday night. At the same time, United remain unbeaten under Ruud van Nistelrooy's interim charge, but the Portuguese coach was the talk of Old Trafford despite still being 1,000 miles away in Lisbon.
The only person who came close to changing that narrative was Amad, with his two second-half goals. Here is a roundup of what the national media had to say about the PAOK match.

A largely unconvincing display from the home side was in marked contrast to that of Amorim's current club, with Sporting producing a superb performance to beat Manchester City in the Champions League earlier in the week. But if there is a positive from tonight for Amorim, at least he has plenty to work at in his new job and quite a lot of scope for improvement among his players.

Ruben Amorim should know this but United's incoming manager, if watching, will comprehend the size of the challenge to transform the group he takes over on Monday.

No Ruben, you have signed the contract now. There is no going back.
After this correspondent's return from Lisbon, where Ruben Amorim's exhilarating Sporting side humbled the might of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City with a breathless display of attacking intent, heading back to Old Trafford for a Europa League clash was always going to be quite the comedown. Amorim has been keen to point out he cannot simply transfer the philosophy that has awoken a Portuguese giant to the Premier League, as English football is an altogether "different world".
But Manchester United are certainly crying out for it. In terms of vigour, what Amorim has created in Lisbon – where even at 3-1 up Sporting threw caution to the wind against City – is a far cry from the lethargy that has engulfed Old Trafford in recent years.

Amad Diallo struck twice and starred to defeat PAOK. It may prove a timely display of excellence, with a new manager to impress.
It gave a belated kickstart to United's Europa League campaign. They rise to the dizzying heights of 15th. Ruben Amorim will trade a club second in the Champions League for one rather lower in the junior competition but at least with the table looking a little less ignominious.

They played 'Glory, Glory Man United' at the final whistle but were fooling no-one. Old Trafford was emptying fast, there were swathes of empty red seats and the visiting Greek fans from Thessaloniki were still in good voice, as they had been all evening. It was very different to the scenes that saw United's new head coach Ruben Amorim swept out of the Estadio Jose Alvalade on a wave of emotion on Tuesday night after a barnstorming win over Manchester City in his penultimate game as Sporting Lisbon boss.
Amorim is leaving a team lying second in the Champions League and top of the table in Portugal for one that has climbed up to 15th in the Europa League and been struggling in the lower reaches of the Premier League. He will start his new job on Monday with the bar set low thanks to games like this one as United laboured to victory thanks to Diallo's two second-half goals on what was his first start for more than a month.

Tracking back half the length of the field - diagonally - to make a routine tackle always goes down well with the faithful and Amad obliged on more than one occasion against limited opposition. Marcus Rashford, take note.
One of Amad's issues, though, is commonplace amongst the relatively young talent at Old Trafford - his potential is taking way too long to develop into game-altering effectiveness. But on this evidence, which included a neatly converted header and a fine individual effort, the 22-year-old can stake a claim to be a leading player in the Ruben Amorim era.
Telegraph
With players looking to catch the eye of Ruben Amorim, it was Amad Diallo who staked his claim for a place in his plans with goals to end Manchester United's wretched run without winning a European match.
Amad, now 22, has never quite established himself regularly since arriving in the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era for €25million from the talent factory of Atalanta. Loans at Rangers and Sunderland suggested he was at a crossroads of his United career.
Amorim arrives as head coach next week, and here is an opportunity to be an important part of the new regime. Amorim has worked with talents such as the highly-rated Geovany Quenda and Amad will be relishing showing the new man in charge what he is capable of.
Times
As Ruben Amorim sat at home in Portugal watching Manchester United record their first European victory in just over a year, there were few reasons for him to be hugely optimistic about what lies in wait for him when he takes over from the interim head coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy, next week.
United lacked a creative edge in the first half, and had PAOK taken their chances their 3,000-strong support — plus those who had sneaked into the home end — would have had more to cheer about. But the Portuguese will be delighted with what he saw from Diallo. Amorim demands flair and courage from his forwards and Diallo showed he had bags of each when he scored his second goal to sink the Greek champions with 13 minutes left.
