Portuguese Football in English
Fábio Silva has become used to changing club throughout his young career. Indeed, this summer the former Porto striker is expected to be on the move again when he returns to Wolverhampton Wanderers from yet another loan stint.
However, a bright season spent with Las Palmas in Spain has vindicated what some considered a surprise choice last summer. The result for Silva is likely to be many suitors as he decides his future in the coming weeks.
It is tradition for the Manchester United manager to address the Old Trafford crowd at the end of the final match of the season.
Many would have understood if Ruben Amorim was hesitant to fulful such duties given the club’s wretched campaign, but the Portuguese delivered an impressive speech after Sunday's 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Goals from Amad Diallo (wonderfully assisted by Bruno Fernandes) and Christian Eriksen saw United sign off with three points, having produced a surprisingly dominant performance against Champions League chasing Villa.
After the match, the home crowd largely stayed behind to hear from Amorim.

Milan 2-0 Monza
Sérgio Conceição’s Milan ended a disappointing season in Italy with a 2-0 victory over Monza on Saturday evening, with João Félix continuing his positive finish to the campaign.
Mian will finish 7th or 8th in Serie A depending on Bologna’s result on Sunday, culminating in a likely departure of Conceição as early as Monday according to local reports.
Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Manchester United
Ruben Amorim was defiant over his future after Manchester United lost the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur, consigning them to their worst season in over 50 years.
Defeat to Spurs in Bilbao leaves United with no European football next season and the embarrassment of a league campaign in which they are guaranteed to finish between 14th and 17th place in the Premier League.
AC Milan 0-1 Bologna
Sérgio Conceição will reportedly leave his post as manager of AC Milan at the end of the season, following the Rossoneri’s disappointing defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia final in Rome on Wednesday evening.
As was the case with his predecessor and compatriot Paulo Fonseca, Conceição will lose his job having failed to overturn sluggish performances across just half a season in charge, according to growing reports in Italy.
