Ruben Amorim ‘to introduce one of the most radical mid-season changes in strategy ever’ as Man Utd face Ipswich

JAMIE CARRAGHER has revealed he is excited about watching Manchester United take on Ipswich on Sunday.

The Red Devils return following the international break with a trip down to Portman Road.

However, they will be boasting a new manager and coaching staff to boot in the form of Ruben Amorim, who is taking charge of his first competitive game after taking charge on November 11.

Amorim’s tactics are known to be quite divorced from previous boss Erik ten Hag‘s, particularly in formation with the Portuguese preferring a 3-4-3 over Ten Hag’s 4-3-3.

The 39-year-old whetted the appetite for what he could achieve by beating Manchester City 4-1 in the Champions League in his final home game with Sporting Lisbon.

However, Liverpool icon Carragher is intrigued to find out whether Amorim’s radical new system will yield the same success it did for him at Sporting, where he won two league titles.

And in particular, he is keen to see whether former Man Utd coach Kieran McKenna will be able to exploit the weaknesses in the team he will be aware of.

Writing in his column for The Telegraph, Carragher said: “I cannot wait to see United take on Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon.

“We are about to witness one of the most radical mid-season changes in formation and strategy ever imposed by one of the elite clubs.

“Facing the side fourth from bottom might seem a gentle introduction to English football for Amorim.

“My suspicion is it will be much trickier than many think.

“United are not just playing Ipswich at Portman Road.

“They face a manager who arguably knows more about the strengths and weaknesses within United’s squad than the new coach.”

SunSport have taken an extensive look into how Amorim is expected to get the team playing in the latest edition of our Tactics Exposed series.

A win can put Man Utd seventh in the table if results elsewhere go in their favour.

Meanwhile, Ipswich are one point above the drop zone but are coming off the back of a win over Tottenham before the international break.

Ruben Amorim leaves Sporting on a high

By Charlie Wyett

RUBEN AMORIM would have preferred to leave Lisbon in a blaze of glory after winning a third Primeira Liga title.

Yet football does not work like that. And in what was surely his final game before taking charge of Manchester United, Amorim prepared to say his goodbyes at a half-empty Estadio Jose Alvalade in a League Cup quarter-final against Nacional.

Sporting won 3-1 thanks to  second-half goals by captain  Morten Hjulmand and Viktor Gyokeres, who scored two.

Luis Esteves pulled back for Madeira-based Nacional.

The stadium  will be a good deal more lively on Tuesday when Manchester City are here for  a Champions League match — although Amorim should by then have his feet firmly under his desk at Old Trafford.

Liverpool and Aston Villa were both interested in Europe’s most sought-after coach. Even City could have been a possible destination post-Pep Guardiola.

Yet the United job is one Amorim, 39,  could not turn  down — even if not everyone saw it that way at Sporting last night.

There is clearly a huge split in the Portuguese club’s fan base over their coach leaving at this stage of the season with many believing he should have seen the job through.

Yet Amorim, along with the three-man coaching team who are expected to follow him, leaves a club in a much better state than when he arrived here in 2020.

Inside the stadium, there was applause — albeit muted — when his name was read out before the game along with the line-ups.

And there did not appear to be any jeers when Amorim shuffled out from the tunnel awkwardly towards the dugout.

So, while his departure is hard to take for some, none of the fans will forget his legacy.

This is a club which is back as the dominant force in Portugal. Even this term, Sporting have won their first nine league games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just two.

They are also eighth in the Champions League table, which is one hell of an effort.

In contrast, Lisbon was not exactly hit by League Cup fever last night.

Amorim made lots of changes, which saw Sporting’s star man Gyokeres, the former Coventry striker, start on the bench.

There was, however, a first appearance in six weeks for former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards.

He is certainly one player who has been transformed by Amorim since arriving at the club from Vitoria in 2022 and will be sorry to see the coach leave.

While he changed his team, Amorim stuck with his tried and trusted formation of a back three.

It will certainly be something Manchester United’s fans will have to get used to over the  coming months.

But looking at the Premier League table, none of them will be complaining about the change.

Sunken eyes to bulldog-like features: the scary things skinny jabs do to your face and the celebs who might be victims

SINCE diabetes drugs burst onto the scene in 2022 as weight-loss tools, more and more Brits have been turning to the needle to slim down. 

Celebs pioneered the movement. Sharon Osbourne lost 42 pounds using Ozempic, Kelly Clarkson used skinny jabs to get trim and even Boris Johnson gave them a go to lose five pounds a week.

Lottie Moss was rushed to hospital after suffering a skinny jab-induced seizure, and the Kardashian-Jenner clan are unable to shake rumours that their famously large behinds were shrunk this way. 

Anti-obesity and diabetes drugs, which are administered via regular injections, have quickly gone from being niche medicines prescribed by doctors to weight loss cheat codes that you can pick up online for as little as £72 a month. 

Versions of the drug include the infamous Ozempic, as well as Wegovy and Mounjaro.

They contain semaglutide, an ingredient that promotes weight loss by mimicking the actions of GLP-1, a hormone released in the gut after eating, which helps you feel full and satisfied.

But skinny jabs carry a price; they could cost you your face. 

The unwanted aesthetic effects of weight loss injections have even earnt their own name of “Ozempic face”.

This phenomenon is characterised by sagging skin (which have been compared to a bulldog’s chops), hollow under eyes, a distorted pout and more. 

We don’t know the long-term health or physical consequences of skinny jabs because they’ve not been in circulation for long enough. 

Fabulous spoke to plastic surgeon Naveen Cavale about all the dangerous things that skinny jabs like Ozempic are doing to faces – and the celebs falling victim to it. 

“Ozempic-induced weight loss can reduce fat in the face,” Naveen explains. 

“This might result in a thinner or less voluminous appearance, often described as ‘Ozempic face’.”

Fish Lips

Step aside ‘trout pout’, the new undesirable kisser is ‘fish lips’ caused by skinny jabs. 

“Some people may notice their lips look less plump because of fat loss,” Naveen says.

“However, significant fat loss in the face may make those who have pre-existing lip fillers appear more prominent, as the surrounding soft tissue diminishes. 

“This exaggerated look, sometimes called “fish lips” on social media, is not due to the medication itself, but rather to the interaction between weight loss and filler placement.”

THE FULL LIST OF CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE ADMITTED TO TAKING OZEMPIC

As weight-loss drugs gained popularity this year, the public has speculated about which celebrities are using Ozempic.

Here are the celebrities who’ve admitted to taking the drug:

  • Lottie Moss
  • Kelly Clarkson
  • Tracy Morgan
  • Stephen Fry
  • Boris Johnson
  • Jeremy Clarkson
  • Rebel Wilson
  • Amy Schumer
  • Oprah Winfrey
  • Elon Musk
  • Sharon Osbourne
  • Robbie Williams
  • Remi Bader
  • Heather Gay
  • Chelsea Handler
  • Claudia Oshry
  • Patti Stanger
  • Emily Simpson
  • Dolores Catania
  • Lauren Manzo
  • Golnesa ‘GG’ Gharachedaghi
  • Charles Barkley
  • Billie Jean King

Noughties singer Jessica Simpson is one celebrity that fans believe has fallen victim to the ‘fish lips’ phenomenon. 

While the 44-year-old (who lost 100lb between 2019 and 2020) denied taking Ozempic in an interview with Bustle in 2023, rumours have continued swirling about her weight loss methods on social media in 2024. 

And she’s slimmed down everywhere but her lips, leaving many fans asking under her Instagram posts: “What’s wrong with your lips?”

“If this occurs, adjustments like dissolving or refining fillers can restore balance,” Naveen recommends. 

Naveen clarified that ‘fish lips’ can happen without the use of skinny jabs and can simply be a result of weight loss, as could be the case with Jessica.

Sunken Eyes 

Another unwelcome side effect of skinny jabs is hollow-looking under-eyes. 

“Ozempic can cause hollow or sunken under-eyes,” Naveen explains. “This is due to the reduction of facial fat, including the delicate fat pads beneath the eyes.

“These fat pads provide volume and cushion the area, giving a smooth and youthful appearance. 

“When facial fat diminishes with rapid weight loss, the skin in the under-eye area can appear more sunken, leading to a hollow or tired look.

“Additionally, thinner skin in this area may make blood vessels and pigmentation more visible.”

Sharon Osbourne, 72, has been touted in the media as an example of Ozempic face for the last two years, after she revealed that she lost 42 pounds through the drug. 

The music manager has been open about her five facelifts over the years – including one that was botched – but her recent weight loss transformation has sparked huge intrigue about her “new face”.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have expressed particular concern about her “dead stare eyes”, with one lamenting that Ozempic usage has given her the appearance of them “sinking” into Sharon’s face.

Saggy Neck

Even your neck isn’t safe from skinny jabs like Ozempic. “Rapid weight loss can potentially lead to looser skin and accentuate neck bands and wrinkles,” Naveen says.

“This happens because the skin may not fully retract after fat loss, revealing laxity in the area.”

Just like her famous daughters, 69-year-old Kris Jenner has struggled to shake skinny jab rumours, with one nutritionist noting her recent weight loss has caused “significant muscle loss” around her neck.

And then the mum-of-six “used filler to offset the possible volume loss experienced by her rapid weight loss”, Rania Batayneh predicted.

Social media sleuths agree with the theory, too. Some have branded Kris Jenner an “Ozempic queen” and questioned why her neck is so heavily filtered in pictures.

“No lines in her neck?” one probed last month. “Please, no one looks like that.”

“The neck don’t lie,” another critic quipped.

Kris hasn’t addressed rumours that she uses weight loss jabs, but she did admit to getting a facelift in 2011.

Bulldog Cheeks 

There’s been countless studies into the phenomenon of owners and dogs looking alike. So much so, it’s now regarded as a scientific fact. 

But the last thing you want is to start looking like a bulldog… especially if you don’t have one as a pet. 

Unfortunately, this could be a nasty side effect from skinny jabs that is virtually impossible to reverse without going under the knife. 

“Rapid weight loss from medications like Ozempic can lead to facial fat loss, particularly in the midface, resulting in a hollow or sagging appearance in the cheeks and jowl area,” Naveen explains. 

“This has been referenced as ‘bulldog cheeks’ on social media and it occurs because reduced facial volume can accentuate skin laxity and gravitational pull. 

“While the term is colloquial, the underlying issue is structural changes caused by the loss of fat that previously supported the face.”
