In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
Just watched part of the interview with him. I like how he comes across - confident and relaxed. He is also markedly better at expressing himself in English compared to ETH.
He's quite hands on isn't he
He's quite hands on isn't he
Has anyone told him he can't play himself? It's not 2013, why is he trying to battle Evans?
He did say he had played every position bar striker and keeper. It makes sense to scratch another one off the list
Everyone's lineup predictions in shambles, he's going to name himself to start in the backline for the trip to Ipswich
He's quite hands on isn't he
Love it!

I have never been more excited for an international break to fecking end!
He's going to break our 9-0 record vs Ipswich on his first game!
Am I a total weirdo for in theory accepting a dodgy result on Sunday as long as we look tactically like a totally different side to the one we've seen this season under Ten Hag.
We can be tactically like a totally different side and still be shit, but i don’t think that helps.
It would be nice to look like a completely different side in a positive way, maintaining that long terms means results will go our way as well.
No more accepting dodgy results. The Ten Hag days are over. I’m confident we will absolutely see a new system and new way of play. I’m expecting a winning start cause I have full confidence in the manager and the coaching staff.
Seems completely fair and logical to be honest. I think sacrificing on principles and patterns for the sake of a quick result will end up coming back to bite us and actually be counter productive in the long run. I think a Klopp-esque first season at Liverpool where there is inconsistencies in results due to a new system and lack of appropriate players, but you can see the play style and dna clearly on the field. Would love for him to stick to his system and use this season to familiarize the team with his ethos and also resurrect some players, bed some youngsters, and have a clear idea of who doesn't fit in his system and which positions to address come the end of the season would be a perfect season imo.
Longer 6-7 minute video. You can clearly the see the system and play he employed at Sporting especially when Mounts runs into the channel and crosses it.
I know right?!! That coat can’t possibly be THAT fluorescent! It hurts the eyes!Why do the real pictures look more photoshopped than all the pics posted of him in United gear before he signed?
It's what I expect. Results in the short term mean feck all compared to the ground work needed for long term success. Winning while not playing our best would be great though.
Yep. Exactly. I'd prefer to win, but its the bigger overall picture I'm thinking about too.
Just watched 7 mins of his first training session. He’s very vocal and loves to get involved in it. Love to see that.
If you combine this with a likeable, charismatic persona, then we could be on to something here.
Player-coach? He could do a job at CB.
100%, something different, but also not something obviously stupid (like Mazraoui AM or Casemiro alone in midfield or any of the other ETH classics)
Rashford approves.
Love those sprints back drills when possession is turned over 
Shows you how low our standards have been when hard work makes you smile

Love how hands on and energetic he is.
Interesting watch.
Clear expectation on the team to SPRINT back en masse when they lose the ball… expected if you’re playing a front six in attacking phase.
Be interesting to see how quickly squad can get used to tactics… and what opponents do to try and defend it.
Roll on Sunday.
Whatever helps you ease the stress.
Good team that, quite fortunate to have a proper first teamer available in every outfield position during an international break.
Stop jinxing the Crock Bros by using words like "available"
And also a shocking indictment of where we are as a club. I was thinking this yesterday watching England. Not a single United player in the squad. I can’t remember that ever happening in my life time before.
He's quite hands on isn't he
I noticed in some of the training clips he praises amad a few times. Reckon he’ll be a big player for Amorim
I noticed the RCB to LWB combination quite a lot in the training vids. Good thing about the 3 at the back formation is it usually allows a lot of space for the LWB to be open.
Look at his physique
Recreating his Quenda. We know he ain’t afraid to put in a very young player.
Amad has a lot of qualities if he can be found in the right positions.
Honestly nothing would shock me Sunday, but the most likely way we get a dodgy result is probably some shit finishing and then conceding a flukey set piece.
Honestly I'm not expecting much apart from being interested in how our players take to the new system. There will hardly be some coordinated pressing structure or drilled patterns in the final third.
Seeing the farewells Ruud received and the reactions to Amorim’s first session. I don’t think a substantial number of the lads rated Ten Hag, at all.
