Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

He will fail, as others have before him. It doesn't matter which manager we put into this organisation.
Nah. This is the one. Came to sporting and ending the dominance of the 2 other Portuguese giants. He’s coming to England and he’s going to end city’s dominance. Give him time and he’ll re build us.
 
We need to do something about our attack. Going to a 343 with Bruno taking on one of the 3 positions helps. I do see Hojlund improving, but if he doesn't, I think we would be smart to take a look at Osimhen .

One of Garnacho or Amad need to step up to claim the third spot in that attack, if neither can't, then it may be time to cash in on one of them, as we need some consistently dangerous attacking threat coming from our attack.
The thing I like about the 3-4-3 is the extra protection at the back. Aswell as the wingbacks being dangerous in attacking areas. The wingbacks should create tons for our attackers in the box. Hopefully the 2 wingers will be more central so it should hopefully stop us from seeing them cut in all the time and shooting
 
Love listening to his interviews. He just seems like a cool guy and he speaks with quite a lot of confidence. Can’t wait to see what he can bring to us.
 
Is Cotterill banned from United? After the Ten Hag stuff and now this, he has to be. Why indulge such a disrespectful prick?
ten Hag ignored him in a press conference but I don't believe the club ever banned him. He absolutely should be though because I bet he turns up for Amorim's first press conference to try and stir shit again. Awful person tbh.
 


These self serving and conceited cnuts are starting already...


Concentrated cringe, fecking hell! This guy knows someone high up or how does he find himself in the position to be asking anything? I'd ban him outright, if he isn't already.
 
Yeah they weren’t. I’m not sure where you got that from?

It was even reported that Spurs ruled outTen Hag, when looking to replace Mourinho, due to having concerns about his language skills and lack of charisma.

It sounds like you are re-writing the past?
 
I’m pretty circumspect about this whole episode because it feels like we are back to square one, but I do love the way he is calling Utd ‘My club’ and he’s very definite about he chose his club and United is what he wanted. A minor detail but I’m here for it. He seems a very impressive individual.
 
Came across really well in that short 5 minute interview. Definitely got charisma and a sense of humour.

I like that's he's respectful and honest but he needs to give the press less respect when they don't respect him. When he asked "why", just continue talking in Portuguese and if the journalist is disruptive kick him out!
 
I’m willing to give him years to sort this mess out. All I want is to see positive sustained progress, no matter how big or how little, just continuous progress in the right direction.

I never felt this with any United manager since SAF. Sure some had patches, like ETH first half tenure or Ole when he was interim and some months after that. But it was never sustained for any significant period of time.

Definitely. As long as we're showing actual progress, season after season I'll give him years for sure. The problem with our previous tenures is that we hit a brick wall after some initial progress, then it just becomes worse and worse on the pitch and we hit unimaginable lows, breaking all sorts of negative records before they're eventually sacked. It simply can't be allowed to reach that point this time around.
 
I hope Ruben has a chance to take the team on a mini-winter break so that he can implement some of his basic ideas, bond with the players etc.
 
If I were him, I’d do United pressers in English except any questions Cotterill might ask. Those I would insist on answering in Portuguese. vai-te foder Gary Cotterill!
What does that mean, go feck yurself?

All the system deep dives and lore. Just to watch him get trounced and immediately revert to degenerate counterattacking football, but with the hipster term "transition" slapped on. I expect this new guy to do the same once he realises this squad can't play anything else.
Oh I really hope you are wrong.
 
I dont mind the formation. As long as we start winning games I could not care less. And Sporting are scoring tons of goals too

Wing play and always having borderline world class wingers is what makes the difference, a big leader and a psycho in the middle somewhere, everyone is always switched on. I don’t buy this thing where a team with worse players just outwork us over and over. Rashford could be class but he’s been totally shite for more years than really good. I like the signings since the boffins came in. They will mostly be helpful to any manager or tactic and good age/potential. We are a mid table club at this second but Onana Rashford DeLigt Ugarte Mainoo Mazraoui there’s big talent there for sure. Can we kick on? I hope ineos take no prisoners playing wise. You got your big club Jim. Get us some world class players and it’ll all click. Simple as that. Not letting Haaland and Bellingham go is the name of the game. We are more ambitious and focused now I hope. Anything is better than the glazers.

As a portuguese, his english obviously seems far from perfect, but definately more than enough to get his point across (with low chance for misunderstandings) and to get lots of good quotes from him.
How do english fans feel about his english?
Seems fine to me. It will improve with practice. I’m sure the club will have a light touch assistant/translator on hand if needed
 
12 games in 55 days once he starts at Ipswich. That's not a whole lot of training time to get your ideas across. So people will need to be patient with the 3-4-3 system if it looks a bit shite early on. I hope he sticks with it, I'm a bit fed up of the same old 4-3-3 at this point.
 
Just saw a reporting whining about him not speaking in English at the press conference. Entitled wanker who seemed intent on shit stirring.
 
I'd be surprised if he even goes 3-4-3 to start with. Especially without Yoro and Shaw or a proper left wing back.


I'd be very surprised he it doesn't, and very disappointed if he does

Because it's very reminiscence of Ten Hag's first season where he more or less just adopts Ole's tactics.

There will surely be calls of the team having "no identity", even if the results are favourable.

Basically what I'm saying is, if we want a go-with-the-flow type of manager (e.g. Ancelotti), we should not be hiring someone that has only proven to play a certain way at the highest level. That's not to say he can't coach any other system and be good at it, but he should not be learning on the job here.


Even if De Ligt and Martinez stay fit, you can't play a high line back 3 with Maguire/Evans/Lindelof in there.

What is the alternative? You can't play a low block with high press as we've seen under Ten Hag.

So is your suggestion just to.. not press at all and park the bus?
