We're in last 8 of Carabao Cup, favorites to win Europa and 4 points behind teams in top 4. It's not ideal to take over without preseason but he's in a good position to make it a decent season.
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
At Sporting he made the team in the pre-season during training camp, curious to see how long it takes to see his hand because I have seen the shedule of united and it are a lot of games in a short period. If you take into account that gameday and day after the game not much of training then you don't have a lot of training sessions.

I think the wingback system miught actually work in our favour looking at how dire Dalot has been since the beginning of the season and our attackers are hit an miss. He could adopt RCB in the future.
Mazraoui think can work from the RWB, good both going back and forward. Garnacho as a LWB, more attacking, would need to adopt but I think he could do that. So far showed too bad decision making in the final third, so would be better if we deploy Amad and Bruno there with Mount being backup along with Rashford and Antony, who both should be slowly replaced as they are not good enough.

Do we have a list of the players not on international duty that will be staying to train with Amorim? Kinda nice that he'll get a decent look at the fridge and youth players first. Give them a chance to impress while the main stars are away.
Could probably use a bit of a scrub and a sort-out, but I don't think that'll be his job tbh.
I would imagine the players not on international duty will be given a couple of days off. He might be here tomorrow, but it could be later in the week before those players are. Is Evans still playing international football or has he retired? Rashford will be there, Antony, Casemiro, Mount, lads coming back from injury?
He's got a run of three easier games, then five tough ones. If he could have a honeymoon spell lasting through all 8 that'd be grand.
First job will be getting Luke away from the fecker
When will his press conference and unveiling be, anything scheduled for tomorrow or Tuesday?
I swear this is only ever an issue for us. Hopefully it’s resolved for the start of next week, the quicker he gets on the training pitch the better.
EDIT: I’m forgetting there’s an international break so it’s not that much of an issue if it’s delayed a couple of days.

Thanks to RvNs help, Amorim comes with a 4pt gap to cut for top 4. A good challenge that's more than doable.
4 points off top 4...
Mmm
Mmm
After this weekend results United are only 4 points off 3rd and 4th place in the table. Hopefully Ruben can hit the ground running against Ipswich.
Despite our worst ever start to a PL season, we are 4 points off 3rd. 1pt behind Spurs. Just 4 off Arsenal and Chelsea. There’s so much to play for this season. The league feels wide open this year. All of Newcastle, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Villa are within touching distance in terms of points.
This is a case of just doing the basics right until the end of the season. Being solid, getting a consistent run of results and we can find ourselves in the top four mix. The squad has enough about them to beat anyone outside the top six, and with the right tactical approach, enough about them to grind out some respectable results against the better sides. There’s enough quality in this squad to at the very least be a solid, hard to beat team; and in Garnacho, Bruno and Amad, two wildcards and a proven performer, who can trouble any defence.

How longs the work permit going to take to come? How come there was no problem bringing in Ruud?
You lot talking about top 4 are laughable.
We're winning the league.

Because Ruud was already working for us
Going back to overpaying for players? No thanks. Branthwaite is nowhere near as good as Everton's valuation.
Branthwaite isn’t better than what we have. I’d rather any of the 2 CBs from sporting over him and they’d cost half the price because they ain’t English and overpriced.
Think he means when he started work for us.
Oh for feck’s sake. Hopefully it’ll be sorted sometime next week.
Is that so? Fecking mental
We ain’t making up 13 pts on Liverpool. They look unbeatable at the moment
Not sure then but I assume he went through the same process to get the work permit. I guess it depends on a number of factors and sometimes you can get it quicker than over times.
Gives him time to settle into his new surroundings. Find a place to live and then get cracking with the team.
4 points off top 3.
Very hopeful with this appointment.
Joining in the summer will have helped, so then we have absolutely no idea how long it takes to get a work permit. Ruben is joining mid-season, but it being an international break will give us more time. Maybe they can't apply until they finish their current job?
Didn't know I can understand portugese, "Ruben Amorim", "Manchester United", "Sporting". Easy language to learn.
We're struggling to break down a low block here. This doesn't bode well.
Guess Ruuds staying then
Harsh on Maguire
He’s in a decent position when he comes in, thanks to Ruud. We’re in 13th position, yet still only 4 points off 3rd - if he gets us top 4 then on paper he’s pulled a master stroke.
feck. We concede. Comical defending.
Have watched 10 minutes of this match. Unimpressed, he’s a flop
I don't think Ten Hag ever lost to a club that can only afford two stands in their ground.
Was there an injury I missed or did he just hook somebody after 25 mins?
He's surely going to be relieved not to have to use Debast once he takes over
As a Benfica fan, what were your thoughts when Amorim became manager of your city rivals?
Hamstring - you have to question his training methodsWas there an injury I missed or did he just hook somebody after 25 mins?
