Credit to INEOS. it’s actually fantastic how quickly they’ve done this. The one complaint we’ve had, looking from the outside, they’ve proven everyone wrong.
The first (I think?) Sporting player we signed became one of the best ever to grace the game. Maybe Amorim being the first manager we sign from Sporting would also become… no pressureI really hope he does well at United and joins a good list of Sporting players who have done well here. You guys seem to produce/develop really good players.
Sporting paid around 8m themselves to get him. So not that much of a markup.Paying another club in the league 10m for their manager is massive in Portugal
Do feel a big bad they clearly tapped him up behind Ten Hags back, but it was the right move
Quiet you! Back in your place, pleb!!It feels daft that a multimillionaire pro manager has a shorter notice period than me!
The word RELEASE means something Mike…
He'll be our first millennial manager so you won't be disappointed in that regardI'm particularly excited with having a 39 year old on the touchline. Hope he has trendy trainers and funny clothes.
He’s gonna have to swap out the Nike’s for a pair of SuperstarsHe'll be our first millennial coach so you won't be disappointed in that regard
He keeps a fresh pair of AF1's handy it seems
We need to support him if he becomes our new coach however we should be realistic about how difficult the job in front of him is?
Not only is he inheriting, a pretty overrated and aging squad but he’s going to rip up the formation and radically change the way we play with a possession based 3421 formation with probably only 70% of the squad suited to this formation change, plus he can’t add any of his players that he wants to bring him.
With three Central defenders, his introduction may prolong Lindelof and Maguire United’s career, at least until the summer of 2025.
Looking how our squad could be used by Amorim?
Onana/Bayinder
L Yoro/ V Lindelof
M De Ligt/ H Maguire
L Martinez/ J Evan’s/ L Shaw
Dalot/Mazraoui
Ugarte/Casemiro
Eriksen/K Mainoo/Bruno
A Garnaucho/ H Amass/L Shaw
Bruno/Mount/Amad
Rashford/Zirkzee
R Hojlund/M Rashford
As you can see with his 3421 we need a definitive Left footed Left wing Back, yep Alphonoso Davies rumours are making more sense but even Ben Chilwell is a good loan option for this system but he need Gyrokeres to start at 9 to really make this work and he needs an elite 22-25 year old CM in the summer?

Or perhaps, by the end of the season, theyll be relieved if he doesnt performed well—we truly don’t know how good he’ll be. We tend to place the managers we hire on a pedestal, but this blind trust has burned us far too many times. I hope he succeeds, but if he doesn’t, then I hope INEOS won’t waste another three years and hundreds of millions, as we did with his predecessorsCity will be gutted when/if Pep walks away in the summer now.
Well put!! Tbh, I've felt the same, especially Ronaldo who has given so much to this club. You don't treat legends that way.
Cannot believe that we are paying 10m pounds on him, which is 12m euros, which if turned in pounds, means that 12m pounds is 15m euros.
Amorim currently doesn’t play with proper fullbacks, it seems. The two players who play in the wing areas are Nuno Santos and Geny Catamo are both wingers
That's the joke.jpgIt's 10M euros, not 10M pounds
Trust the process!Yep starting to win back their credibility.
I was also excited about Ten Hag, have become sober and is now drunk again on Amorim.I think you/I had every right to be excited about ETH. Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean we shouldn't have been optimistic.
I know less about Amorim, so not as excited but I am still hopeful he will coach us into a better team now with the players we have.
Not nit picking, but he's gen x.He'll be our first millennial manager so you won't be disappointed in that regard

I know. That’s what British media often does to United prices, it converts euros to pounds, and then inevitably some ABU media does this again until the player ‘costs’ twice as much as he really cost.It's 10M euros, not 10M pounds
Fate. Destiny.I was also excited about Ten Hag, have become sober and is now drunk again on Amorim.
All you need to know:
Erik (‘ei’+’rikr’=eternal+ruler) ten Hag (‘ten’ of the + ‘hag/haag’ hedge)
= The eternal ruler of the hedge.
So basically a garden gnome (gotta love those, mind).
Then:
Ruben (‘rubeus’ = red) Amorim (‘amor’ = love)
= Red love / Lover of Reds
You just can’t beat that.
And we already earned that amount or close to it when Leonardo Jardim moved from Sporting to Monaco. We in the business of selling managersSporting paid around 8m themselves to get him. So not that much of a markup.

First time I will be older than the manager
He was born in 1985, thought the cutoff was 81-96?Not nit picking, but he's gen x.
I don't know if the post is serious, but found it funny.

I've just bought the Flyknit version of the AF1s. Unbelievably light. Great trainer. Would buy again. I'm sold on this snazzy guy.He'll be our first millennial manager so you won't be disappointed in that regard

If we go 2-4-3, at least we might finally be able to control midfield and not get out played by the Coventry Citys of the world. I've been saying we should have at least gone 4-4-2 to ease matters. Let's hope if he comes in, he can find a proven goal-scorer quickly
Sorry mate if we play with one less than other teams no matter the formation we will get outplayed
Amorim is good but playing with 10 men every game? He is not that good.
Darn, dyscalculia almost extinguished in England within half a day.‘3-4-3’ I hope. 2 at the back will be pushing it a bit. Will allow freedom to the attacking players.
