For me, this is the first time where the Zirkzee signing has made a bit of sense. He's not the only one either.
Have to wonder if this was in the works for a while.

Ruben Amorim | United meet Sporting release clause
- Thread starter Raoul

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) are here to give their reaction just hours after the news has broke. Where did it all go wrong for ETH? What's next for United? and what were the highlights?
They also react to United's loss away at West Ham, including a breakdown of that ridiculous VAR decision.
SSN lost credibility over a decade ago.
The talk is about joining immediately(ish)
Of course they have. Whenever we’re involved there’s always negativity.
It was a nonsical theory peddled on here by a small few, even though it was debunked several times.
Some were trying to peddle the bullshit narrative yesterday that we're broke so would be going for either Ole, Southgate or Potter. These bullshit, negative articles generate clicks.
He's coming now.
Classic
Would it be that surprising if he did? The speculation at the moment is whether he'll be in for the Chelsea match or not.
Wonder what happens to RvN if Amorim is appointed. Kept on as a striker coach?
Anyone familiar with his system know if his back three is always pure CBs?
I’m wondering if first choice it will eventually be:
Yoro - De Ligt - Martinez
However if we are struggling for a fit CB could the likes of Mazraoui, Dalot or Shaw (lol) slot into the back three seamlessly?
I assume the system relies on having at least one of the wider of the three having the pace to cover in behind?

How so?
The wing backs are going to be huge for us in this system if he plays it. With a few player sales, we could line up something like this for a very positive net spend in the transfer window. On paper, Sancho and Amal are perfect for these roles.
Will probably stay until the end of the season and then start looking for full manager roles again. I think he clearly took a gamble on him getting an extended role as interim and audition for the job and it hasn’t worked out like that.
The caf said that he was Dutch and therefore must be an ETH signing though, so you can't be right
Do we know if he’s going to bring his own staff in with him if this happens?
He's a Chelsea player. He's also useless.
Mediocre teams have assistants holding players accountable.
We need to get Roy in as a player.
cos ten hag had feck all idea how to get the best out of him.
I imagine it'll be in the coming days.
When it’s not an interim appointment, but a major one involving big money, he’ll almost certainly be looking to bring some of his own people in to make it work for him.
The problem is United probably have sizeable contracts with RVN and Rene Hake who were legitimate managers/head coaches at their previous Dutch clubs. In terms of severance packages if it’s a clean slate it could be a massive cost on top of EtH. Per the INEOS approach to cost saving, I can’t see it being a full clean sweep and maybe a select few who come along.
Errrr Mazraoui is a number 10 mate.
Might be they keep RVN on so that he can help understand the new manager about the club, it would be useful to keep him.
Maybe he can learn from a more competent coach and then in 12-18 months go and take over as a head coach somewhere.
Let's see. With Bruno and Mount here I'd be more inclined to think he'll opt for using them. Unless there's some real hidden talent we haven't seen so far with Zirkzee.
'Can't afford' and willing to spend aren't the same. As long as we're losing money financial considerations will never be 'pure nonsense'.
I'm more thinking of next season. If Amorim comes in soon, it's unreasonable to expect our players to adapt to him quickly.
Probably already been answered but scanned a few pages and couldn't see it and was hoping someone was kind enough to repeat who has kept up with the thread, West Ham decided not to hire him after an interview and Liverpool turned down the chance to speak with him, is that a concern or were there mitigating circumstances?
Ye I seen that aswell. That we had to raid the free agent market. What I like about the INEOS era so far. Everything they do seems to be a surprise and under the radar. No leaks.
I might be wrong but I don’t think Liverpool wanted to pay his release clause. I’m not sure what happened with West Ham.
Sancho will be a Chelsea player next season too.
Sounds like we want him in place for the weekend game v Chelsea.
No messing around.
I guess something has been happening behind the scenes for a couple of weeks.

Uh oh. No Mainoo?
3-4-3. With ugarte and Mainoo the CM pairing. Rashford, Hojlund and Bruno the front 3. Our 3 CB martinez, De Ligt and Yoro are very solid. Only concerning position is the Left side without shaw. Must be a transfer priority in January
Well it looks like Amorim's preferred formation includes two attacking players just behind the striker. Zirkzee occupying one of those two positions makes more sense than anything we saw at any stage under Ten Hag.
No Mainoo?
It's skysports. What do you expect
Chelsea will be slightly worried. As they knew what to expect under ETH. Amorim will hopefully get us more solid and more fluid in attack
