Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

[André Dominguez]

Was there an injury I missed or did he just hook somebody after 25 mins?

Injury. And unfortunately Pote is basically the main source of dribbling and creative thinking.
Debast is being a major flop. What was he thinking? The guy was the most expensive defender ever for Sporting.

 

[André Dominguez]

Hamstring - you have to question his training methods

Not really. Pote hás been injury prone since always, otherwise he would be at a top european club.

Ah, fair enough then.

Haven't seen much of Debast, but I think I vaguely remember him looking like a bit of a clown for Belgium in the Euros.

We ain’t making up 13 pts on Liverpool. They look unbeatable at the moment

They really dont

 

[André Dominguez]

As a Benfica fan, what were your thoughts when Amorim became manager of your city rivals?

At the time we didn't really care because he was an ínterim at Braga. But seeing what he did at a club who just lost several players and was having huge financial issues made me see he is made for another level.

 

[Samid]

Seems to have lost the dressing room. Can't see him surviving this result.

 

[Manny]

2-0 down now. He's getting sacked at the end of the game.

 

[WouterWeghorst]

he'll be gone by tomorrow i bet!

Sacked in the morning

 

[DJ_21]

They really dont

They aren’t top of the league with 21 goals scored and 6 conceded for no reason. Only losing 1 game all season.

 

[DJ_21]

Nice way for Amorim to bow out.

 

[V.O.]

They got rid of him three games before this shameful performance. Standards.

 

[always_hoping]

A surprise to see Sporting 2-0 behind at half time v Braga. Ruben ex club of course and bit of hang over from giving City a trimming midweek.

 

[CallyRed]

0.12 xG in the first half. He's ready for us.

 

[RedRocket9908]

Chockingly enough United is nr. 12(How was Ten Hag allowed to do this?)
Amoring will take United to top 6 and it will be a succes.

What's the expectation for next Season United fans? How would a succesfuld season look like next year? Top 4?

I think its way too soon to be talking about what's going to happen or what we expect to happen next season, the situation he is walking in to is unprecedented as no other Man Utd manager post Sir Alex has walked in to the club with a proper footballing structure in place so we need to wait to see what happens this season before talking about next season.

 

[RedRocket9908]

They aren’t top of the league with 21 goals scored and 6 conceded for no reason. Only losing 1 game all season.

I know, they are doing well but they dont look unbeatable

 

[Avero]

He’s clearly managing expectations by coaching them to a massive loss after the impressive win against City.

 

[André Dominguez]

Losing to Braga is not really a surprise. They are very solid at home games.

 

[DJ_21]

I know, they are doing well but they dont look unbeatable

I’d agree with you if they’d lost more than 1 game.

 

[Remember the geese]

They aren’t top of the league with 21 goals scored and 6 conceded for no reason. Only losing 1 game all season.

In fairness, they would likely have conceded a good few more if they weren't immune to giving away penalties. I remember several instances.

 

[DJ_21]

I don’t think we’d complain if we lost some games under Amorim aslong as the style is consistent and you can see what we’re trying to do.

 

[Irrational.]

Failed his first real test.

AmorOUT.

 

[Shunty]

Is that work permit thing true? Seems fake

 

[André Dominguez]

First goal was not legal, but Braga at home are a tough bone.

 

[Guv77]

I don’t think we’d complain if we lost some games under Amorim aslong as the style is consistent and you can see what we’re trying to do.

Good luck with that.

 

[justsomebloke]

It's a very peculiar situation for Amorim to walk into - apart from the challenges with the team, the table is absolutely insane right now.

Last season following GW11, there were two teams who were within 4 points of fourth place. Now there are 10 teams who are within 4 points of THIRD place. City in 2nd place have a bigger gap up to Liverpool in 1st, than we in 13th have to Chelsea, who's 3rd. Which means that for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with us, this season is far from the write-off it should have been, given our record.

Of course, the bad news is that we're the last of those 10 teams, and even if we start getting consistently good results, some other teams will too. Still, there's opportunities here you don't normally get when you're 13th after 11 rounds.

 

[RedRocket9908]

Losing to Braga is not really a surprise. They are very solid at home games.

Sporting have pulled it back to 2-1 now, I never realised former Sheff Wed manager Carlos Carvalhal was in charge of Brags now, he has managed a ridiculous amount of clubs

 

[Samid]

We're level! Still time for a winner.

 

[The holy trinity 68]

We're level! Still time for a winner.

Get in! Come on lads!

 

[JediSith]

Oh for feck’s sake. Hopefully it’ll be sorted sometime next week.

knowing our luck he’ll probably get injured or ill on his first day.

 

[Samid]

Harder! We've reached the promised land!

 

[Manny]

2-3! Another banger!

 

[The holy trinity 68]

Boom! Harder scores to make us Amorim fan boys harder.

 

[Woodzy]

AmorIN

 

[McFred]

Good second half. Basing my entire opinion of the Portuguese league on this game, the standard is….not great

 

[Real Name]

When is he starting?

 

[klsv]

Beating City comfortably and producing a late comeback win, it's like we're back in the 90s

 

[golden_blunder]

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?

Evans retired from international football

 

[Manny]

Another goal! Game wrapped up

 

[Samid]

He's him.
