Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

You know it’s a money maker for the club, right? It’s all about the revenue. You pay, you get the content - simples.
It's a pittance to them and makes the club less accessible in general. If it puts actual fans off watching the videos what's it going to do for potential new ones?

As Shinji says, it's quoted and put up elsewhere anyway eventually. Either by Utd or some aggregator. Would just be nice if Utd were more social media friendly like the other clubs.
 
Someone will probably upload it to Youtube within 30 minutes

Or, simply wait 10-15 minutes and get it all on YouTube for absolutely nothing! :)
This is also an option. :lol:
Either way it’s not something to denigrate the club for. It just the way things are, modern life is rubbish!!

Even to get 20 min highlights you have to pay. Horrible club in that respect

For every tightwad like myself who elects to wait to see the content for free, there are thousands of people across the globe who willingly stump up to be a member and subscribe to MUTV. It’s the same reason OT is always full even though the football has ranged between uninspiring and down right rubbish!
 
Apparently it is free tomorrow morning anyway.
Dunno who this shit works on but literally everything is cheaper if you just wait a bit. I hardly ever pay full price for games, etc.. these days.

If people can't control themselves to wait a day to watch a manager's interview (where he'll broadly say the classics - happy to be here, excited to get started etc..) then they've got issues.
 
Let's give both Amorim and Rashford a chance to try it out first if the report was to be believe. It's weird that there are so many negative comments before anything even tried out yet.

For all we know, we could also see Antony and Amad at wingback too.
Its been tried:

"When we beat Liverpool a couple of years ago, we played with Rashford and Romelu Lukaku up front. He is not a target man, he is a man of movement,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"I do not think he is a pure nine. If Ole is going to play him as he did today then I think he is the perfect player for him.

"He's young but he is experienced. With 21 years he probably has more matches than some players who are 24, 25. For me he is potentially a very good player, in some models and in some positions.

"As a number nine I don't think he has the 30 goals a season in him. I don't think he can get better as a target man. To be better as a target man is difficult for him." Jose Mourinho 2019
 
legit source or not....it's really the only position in that system logically he could play

his role is going to similar to what they've done with Gyokeres who is constantly running the channels...it's about pace and running behind which rashford can do

zirkzee clearly doesn't have the pace....Hojlund has the pace and would fill in that back up role but don't see him starting there given he's not quite ready
Marcus Rashford is offside!
 
I am a big critic of Rashford and don't think he's the long term solution, past this summer. But Hojlund has been absolutely woeful. I don't think I've ever seen a player be consistently so invisible. He's absolutely useless as a striker at the moment and it would be hard to do a worse job.
I don't think this is fair, I think Hojlund has decent promise and I am looking forward to seeing him in a new system but it's no harm to have Rashford/Hojlund competing for the 9. I think most agree Zirkzee isn't really a 9 and Rashford isn't going to be playing wing back.

Harsh. Players such as Shaw/Mount are consistently invincible because they are never fit to get onto the pitch.
 
Højlund over Rashford any day.
Rashford has scored more goals in one season that rasmus has his entire career.

The thing about signing a prospect is you have to give them time to devlop. He may well be the future for this club in terms of goals, but keep playing him now, when he clearly is not ready, means that we struggle as a team, but more importantly, keep doing it and we will destroy his career before its really started.

He should not be starting for this club, for his sake, as well as ours.

Nor should Rashford and certainly not as a centre forward. Højlund is a better centre forward than Rashford.

I don’t think it’s “has Hojlund looked better than Rashford to date?”… it’s “who’d be the 9 in Amorims system?”

Looking at videos and Gyokeres (running the channels, physical, good hold up), Hojlund looks a better fit to me. Rashford looks more suited to the second striker role…with Bruno being the other (and Amad competing).

I agree, but that does not change Hojlund being utterly useless in 9/10 games for us. Maybe he'll come good one day, but right now he's just not it. We at least know Rashford is capable of making good runs off the shoulder and channels whilst Hojlund is either fairly static in his movement, playing WWE with the opposition defenders, or just in the completely wrong position.

I don't think either is the right option for beyond this season and we desperately need a proven goalscorer in the summer but for now, I'm not against trying Rashford there under a new system and manager. For the record, even if Rashford does ok there, I would sell him at the first opportunity in summer.

That's a disingenuous logic. Rashford is what, 27? Hojlund is 21. By the way, Hojlund scored in 6 consecutive league games last season when he was 20, it was unfortunately interrupted by injury (which is my biggest question mark with regards to him). Hojlund is clearly a striker while Rashford is clearly not. If Amorim turns Rashford into a productive striker who works hard off the ball then that would be amazing, but it seems reasonable by all accounts that Hojlund starts as his #9.

And then we'll buy his old #9 in the summer hopefully.
 
can’t wait to lose to ipswich whilst playing 3-4-3 at the weekend.
 
So it’s ok to visit a new team and talk to the people there without a permit but if you put a camera there and record what he says it’s illegal?

Yes, he'll be locked up immediately and we'll have to hire Southgate.

Do you not remember Hojlund goal against Galatasaray? He does often make runs but a lot of the time he’s ignored for it. If anyone can improve and develop him then it’s Amorim. I’m willing to give him a fair shot under a new system and manager. Players have been all over the place and useless under ETH chaotic tactics. As for Rashford playing up front… he does sometimes make decent runs but 9/10 he’s always offside. Doesn’t know how to beat the offside trap.
 
Agreed. No complaints about hiring Ten Hag because he was a highly-rated, innovative coach at the time, it just didn't work out unfortunately as the step up proved too much. There's no reason to stop taking chances on exciting young coaches though.
Exactly, Im all up for taking chances on promising coaches and players. Eventually we'll struck gold and that's a much better position to be than the safe one. I rather gamble than be safe on goodish results.
