Can one be selfish otherwise?
Finally this week we get to see King Amorim leading his team with prince Bruno as skipper!
Incredible
Can we get someone to write an article on his star sign compatability with our players. I wonder if his Aquarius water traits will mesh with Rashfords Scorpio.

FFS! Pathetic. You literally never get this level of forensic examination from the media at any other club in the league. I get that United bring in the clicks but it’s no wonder players and managers struggle to replicate their previous success here, the pressure is absolutely immense. Studying his fecking body language in his first press conference at the club before a balls even been kicked!
You look at a club like Liverpool who are the second biggest club in the country and Slot’s been allowed to come in and quietly go about his business with a lot less spotlight on him. He’s come into a new league and has had the time and space to implement his ideas without the media breathing down his neck and questioning his every move. It’s an extra challenge that every Utd manager has to overcome that managers of other clubs simply don’t experience. Thats what makes this gig so tough and why it takes a very special individual to reach the heights we all expect at the club. No it’s no surprise the vast majority of the clubs success came when we had two great men in Sir Matt and Sir Alex at the helm.
Selfish? Wrong adjective I feel.
Bruno is captain and wears that responsibility. If the team aren’t doing it, he simply tries to do it himself. He is carrying the team as our best player when our other top star MR is out of form, and he tries to force it.
We are still a collection of talented individuals and not a team. I think you can see this frustration in Bruno’s game, but to call him selfish is incredibly harsh. 9 times out of 10 he will play the pass if one is available.
Hope so. Would like to be proven wrong, but he has done bugger all so far
And this is why we paid ten million and gave Amorim a £6.5m contract to manage these issues. Ten Hag chose to play them no matter what and look where that got him and us? If he comes in, falls out with key players but raises the consistency of our performances and results who would care if Rashford is sulking on the bench?
I don't follow much media these days. Is their a media campaign against Bruno?
For his first game tomorrow should the forum jump on the hype train and rebrand to ReubCafe?
No.
Thanks for the geography lesson. Didn't knew it was in Portugal having been there about 15 times. They are strange people.
I guess I don’t get the joke
Definitely, I think we will see a lot of sideways passing, the players will need to adapt over a few months. I’m happy we will go through the growing pain now.
Did they even listen to what he said
Toxic player power needs to end.
He said 2 positions, one as 10 and the other as WB I guess
Did they even listen to what he said
Custis, no surprises there.
Sorry if someone already posted this. My first impression of Amorim is the same. Who knows how his reign will go but it's nice to have good first impression. Won't count for much if it doesn't translate to the pitch of course.
I've never heard Samuel Luckhurst sound positive about anyone ever.
Basically it's a north and south portuguese dynamic thing. No worries mate.
Be a welcome change if the journalists aren’t wankers to him.
So here it begins for him where the tiniest of his action, choice of words, body language, tactics, etc. is probed, dissected, accentuated and hyped up to the stars both positively/negativity by every footballing entity from journalists, ex-players, fans, etc. alike. Hope he had realised while signing up that he's landing himself in the eye of the football's most lethal storm.
Wish he withstands and wrestlers through the enormous pressure coming his way from all the directions and initially focuses primarily only on elevating the on-the-pitch performances of the team collectively and turning these players into mentality monsters (a paramount task).

Guardian headline yesterday was "Amorim says Manchester United years off title win" or something yo that effect. He did technically say that but it wasn't what he implied or meant.
You can spin any answer to that question negatively. “Says they can win it this year” - stupid, next year also seems far fetched. 3 years? No pressure mate. Etc…. Can’t win.
Absolutely, I dont expect some fluent joga bonito tomorrow - but it would be really nice if Amorim can be successful on the pitch as well as in front of the cameras.
"b...b....but 3-4-3? Impossibru! How will it work? Is it even possible at all?"
Meanwhile, same people pining for Alonso, other world class manager in the making, uses 3-4-3....
"Alonso. Feck yeah!"

Well predictably, every freaking media outlet and their marketing team jumping on the United news bandwagon at the quickest, knowing very well that the silliest headline with a word 'Amorim' in it gonna sell like hot cakes. So hoard up as much garbage news as possible while the new manager vogue lasts.
Kind of. Talk shite went full turbo with Bruno moaning and gesticulating. All the shows had to mention it again and again.
Gary Neville didn't help matters when he said he wants come off during Liverpool hammering.
Somehow Bruno gets painted as Pantomime villain.
The nearer it gets the more worried I am! I just really want to have a feel good factor for a little while. Continue that Ruud momentum. The gut punch of ETH’s first two games was heart breaking.
Do you think that it's undeserved?
If you didnt know before what Amorim was doing in Portugal, you must have been living under a rock.
Are you sure about that? He was the front runner in the who do you want as manager poll on here, after Eth got sacked. I chose Frank in the poll. I knew nothing about Amorim, but when I saw how much fans were voting for him, I started to do research on him.
The fact that he was head n shoulders above everybody else on the poll, kinda told me the fan base highly rated him.

the sub heading: If we sack Ten Hag, who do you want as manager?
This is the poll that had me wondering who the hell Amorim was. After doing extensive research I was impressed. But kept my T Frank vote.
Win, draw or lose tomorrow is not really important in the long run, but we are on a positive streak and I really want it to continue.
Yeah but the problem is that the press really go hard on United managers, and it then creates an infiltration in the club.
Ole in my opinion was done by the off field stuff and press stuff that shattered his progress for 2 years. Teh Hag got totally lost in the off field pressure and gave up his own footballing principles which got him here.
Ruben won’t get time as well if the results don’t start coming in. He will have some amnesty this year but next year onwards; it will be the same.
I believe we started this season well and did lots of right things. But the press negativity grew and it seeped into the dressing room. That was ETHs writing on the wall. Although, some decisions he was making were completely baffling as well. Dropping Amad after one of his best games being one of them. The the refusal to play Ugarte the other.
