I don't think Martinez is good enough either and I hope we buy Inacio to replace him eventually, but some of you need to move the feck on from Shaw. He's a perma-crock who we need to offload in the summer.
Ruben Amorim | United meet Sporting release clause

I’m cautiously optimistic.
I will pitch to a gofondme
We seem very broke hahaAye, factoring Shaw into these lineups just seems like pure daft fan fiction at this point. He’s done at the top level, and we’d be most sensible to move on asap.
@Sly Apologies as I'm guessing you've got a load of tags since this broke, but I was wondering what is Amorims in game management like?
Ten Hag seemed to struggle to change a game once his opponent figured him out, so if this is an area Amorim thrives in it'd be nice.

I was wary about ETH and will be the same here. The positive is that I'm not hearing Sporting fans point out issues with Amorim as the Ajax fans did with ETH. Many of which came true in the end.
I do have a better feeling about it though, and I'm really hoping he goes for the 343/3421 that he's used at SL. Think he's got the personality to get everyone onside for a change. Practically every other coach we've had has split the fanbase with their actions, but from what I've read and seen, I think Amorim will be liked my United supporters.
Hell it'll just be refreshing to see him looking invested on the touchline, going through it with the players. In a weird way it was nice to see Lopetegui slump into his seat after the game, you could see he'd lived every second of it. Whilst ETH is too busy shaking his head and looking miserable. It's only a small thing but I think supporters appreciate things like this.

I think you missed the joke
He's very astute tactically and he's a fantastic man manager but In game subs isn't one of his best assets. Just last game I was annoyed with him taking too long to sub underperforming players. He's very good rotating the team but tbh we have a good Squad filled with options.
Football is feelings, I've been frustrated with Ten Hag and was feeling indifferent - now the optimism is back and I can't wait for the next game.
He might be the one or he might be replaced in a year or two, but I'm going to enjoy this time and savor feeling excitement.
Exactly. This should be fun.
What the hell is that...
Exactly, hope is what we have left, until there isn't.
Cheers hopefully if he sets up right from the beginning it's not quite as infuriating as it is with Ten Hag
Clearly left back. We haven't fielded one since January or something.
I fully agree that ETH “did many strange things” and I agree it was time to part ways.
I am not indicating Ruben will not make it. I was arguing that getting a manager who’s managed in the EPL at smaller teams is a similar risk.
Slot came from a smaller league, he’s doing well. The risk was there, but he’s doing well. But I also think that the expectations at united are very very high. Fixing what we have become must be the highest expectation any manager get. I hope it works out
Probably left back as Shaw is going to out for the season and Malacia is done . Unless Juventus come in for Zirkzee can’t see another striker coming in this season. I still think a midfielder is needed

CNN getting into the act?
Yeah only time will tell on that but wish him luck
How many of these feckers can speak English? Do we need to bring back Shteve McLaren to help out?
I hope he is type of manager who will make a rant after being robbed on the pitch.
The title of the thread is Amorim taking over now that Ten Hag is gone. A lot of posters complaining about tactics, league he was in, etc. Let’s see what he can do.
I agree with your first part though. Many are relieved Ten Hag is gone.
He isn’t.
Who’s doing the match thread for the game tonight then?going to be well followed!
Needs someone to post up what channel it's on
Arnold appointed Ten Hag.
Berrada, Ashworth and Wilcox have appointed Amorim.
I can guarantee you the latter three will have put a lot more thought into the Amorim appointment. Comparing it with Arnold's pursuit of Ten Hag seems pointless? He wasn't a qualified football person.

I'm not sure the personnel will be available for him to play his 3-4-2-1 from the get go. When everyone is fit we'll probably look like this:
Onana
Yoro - De Ligt - Martinez
Dalot - Mainoo - Ugarte - Mazraoui
Bruno - Garnacho
Hojlund
Yoro - De Ligt - Martinez
Dalot - Mainoo - Ugarte - Mazraoui
Bruno - Garnacho
Hojlund
Seems like a good thing our captain speaks fluent English and Portuguese.
Julian apparently has love for this club, so just have to hope he never goes to scousers/City. That way there is still a possibility he manages this club in the future
I'm watching Sport TV1 now and they are interviewing people about Amorim. One guy was in tears.
Let's just hope he can give United something to be happy about in the coming years.

So excited by this. He's young, he's hungry and he sets teams up fantastically. I just hope that the team respond to him and put the hard yards in.
probably all of them
Just a thought incase he plays maguire, didnt maguire thrive in a back 3 while playing for England?
I don’t know how much Mazraoui was playing wingback in Tuchel’s system… wasn’t he hurt? As far as Mazraoui playing as a 10… Remember when Van Der Sar got a red card for taking down a player in the box and SAF had Rio put on the gloves and tried to save a penalty? Rio was no more a goalkeeper than Mazraoui is a 10 haha.
Anyway, I see your point, they both can be serviceable as RWB, but neither would be ideal as I think you need more pace and 1v1 dynamism than either of those two are able to provide.
Portuguese can speak better English than most Mancunians
Would imagine they all do. Most Portuguese speak very good English.
Am I the only one feeling a bit numb about this imminent appointment?
Like am not feeling any emotions about it.

Always knew you were a psycho.
Probably all of them. They usually have good English. Look at Jose, Bruno etc.
Still not sure what to think of this. Listened to one podcast of so called football 'experts' describe him as tactically astute and pragmatic, even with his favoured 3-4-3.
But then I listened to another one with a different group of 'experts' who dismissed him as being dogmatic, and his main strength lies with improving the players he works with.
So, I have absolutely no idea what to expect.
