[How do you find your rhythm again?] I don’t know. Winning games, basically. We can’t think beyond the next game; we are going to try.

I love the club, the hierarchy and the people, my life in Manchester. We have a lot of problems, for many reasons and the target is to turn it round.

When we won everything in the past we had almost a full squad. Now we have eight important players out. When they come back they have to straight in the team, and with one game every three days they get injured again. We are in a cycle that we can’t get out of.

Kyle is unwell, Kevin and Gundogan [who are on the bench] have had flu the last few days, Jack [Grealish] is injured. Football is unpredictable. When you think, ‘Oh it’s going to be difficult’, maybe our form will change.

[On the transfer window] If we can we have to add players, definitely. Saying that, I don’t know if it will happen because the winter transfer window is not easy. 

 

Pereira's replacement Borges takes charge of the club after stepping down from his role at fellow Portuguese top-flight club Vitoria Guimaraes.

Sporting paid Vitoria a settlement of 4.1 million euros ($4.26 million) for the 43-year-old's services.

Borges, who has coached a string of Portuguese clubs, took charge of Vitoria in May. He guided them to the knockout stages of the Conference League, where they finished the group stage as one of only two unbeaten clubs alongside England's Chelsea.

 

"The time for me is right. It's always right. I'm very positive, I believe things happen when they have to. It's an opportunity we've all worked for," Borges told reporters.

"I'm the leader of the Portuguese champions and I couldn't be happier... I look at the squad and it's the best... It's not even time to talk about signings."

Sporting next host Benfica in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday.
