The moment he signs the contract.

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.
Hard to tell in that league. Although he’s competing with Porto and Benfica. But all the rest of the league are worse than what’s in the Pl. I reckon he’ll get the best out of Bruno.Played 9, won 9. Scored 30 and conceded 2. Jesus Christ
Where are the regular watchers of the Portuguese league? Is this guy the real deal?
PL experience means bugger all with managers, I’ve no idea why anyone would care. Which PL winning manages started at a lesser club in the PL and then moved to another and won the league? Barely any.
I assume only 1 game. Better question is if he stays on under Amorim or leaves
Antony wingback is gonna be legendary.
The fact we're not signing Nagelsmann is the 2nd best news of the day after EtH's sacking.
He's one of the most overrated managers on the planet.
Thanks, this has made it so much clearer....
Box dominator sounds like something I'd be looking to order from Arby's at HT when we're 2-0 to Bournemouth
Oliver is a goat , helped us get rid of EtH
Happy with this.
Right but I'm assuming here the deal is for Amorim to start now, not next season?
If they had him in mind as their long term manager for a while, it makes Ugarte and the Fernandes new deal make more sense
On paper Bruno doesn't mesh with his style.
Also I'd rather we stop worrying about getting the best out of a 30 year old that's on the decline. Prefer him working to get the best out of Mainoo, Yoro, Hojlund, Garnacho, Amad, Ugarte, and the other academy players.
Again, Bruno didn't play under Amorim
It's a once in a lifetime type opportunity. Getting a job at one of the world's biggest clubs, no matter how they're currently doing, it doesn't get turned down.
Fans doubt our ability to get a manager upon every new appointment. Then we go and do it. Quickly.
Sporting have conceded just two goals this season in the league (30F 2A) - and the last one was conceded on 17 August.
That's 684 minutes without conceding a league goal.

Yeah even so, you still need someone filling in managerial responsibilities in the interim, even if they don't get to lead the team out to a game.
I suspect RVN will be given the Leicester game though, even if Amorim joining is imminent.

The fact that this is what you thought of when you read "box dominator" tells me that your parents raised you well.
Amorin is exciting, ticks alot of the right boxes. But I do worry about the fact he has never played or managed anyway but in Portugal.
Hopefully if he comes now he has this season to adjust to the EPL and one of the biggest most pressurised managerial jobs in the world.
But it's definitely a risk, he might just simply not be able to adapt who knows.

Also why we spent so much of the summer after CBs.
If we’re playing this speculated 3-4-3 under him then some of our summer transfers make more sense and that maybe he was our front runner all along. Two additional CBs in Yoro and De Ligt with Maguire and Lindelof both being retained for that 3 at the back combination. Mazraoui can function in that midfield four as a creative wide man and of course the big one in Ugarte who played under him at Sporting.
Just swap the positions of your top 2 teams around and join us on our ascent back to the top
What the feck is a referent no.9?Thanks, this has made it so much clearer....

I see, I think, but mostly hope, that such a formation will suit the current squad better, at least while nobody's fit or consistent (yet).
The more I dig into Amorim, the more I like what I'm reading. Mourinho's a fan too:
The quote is from when Amorim was linked with Liverpool

Beating Porto and Benfica with Sporting.
Kind of like beating Celtic and Rangers with Aberdeen.

From lows this morning to highs this evening, fecking football. Hope we get this one and I really hope that he deliveres - gods knows we need it.
Nevermind ETH. Oliver is permanent ass
so, c0cks out then?
I honesty don't know much about tactics but I'm wondering if we have players with high enough football IQ (and work-rate?) to understand how to play the system.
Also, where would he fit into a 343?
Rashford et al will eat him alive.
so reading up on his tactics and ideas, are we looking at something like this?
-----------------------Onana
-----------Yoro----De Ligt-----Martinez
Mazraoui---------------------------------------Dalot
----------------Ugarte---------Mainoo
------Fernandes--------------------Garnacho
----------------------Hojlund
Thoughts?

Honestly most of the transfers make sense in a vacuume anyways. Yoro, De Ligt, Maz, Zirkzee are all players that can function in different styles of teams and we desperately needed cover at those positions regardless of team shape. Ugarte was the only one that seemed a bit off, so yeah if Amorim was always the plan then I agree.
Can pretty easily plug this in with our personnel..
-----------De Ligt--------------
------Yoro--------Martinez------
-------Ugarte----Mainoo-------
Dalot‐---‐-----‐-----------------------Shaw
--------Bruno---------Rashford

Signing a Portuguese guy with a smooth haircut and cheeky smile before he signs for City. What can go wrong?This one also comes with the added bonus of boiling the Berties piss!!
His record with Sporting makes me really excited. Hell, even his short stint at Braga is positive. I imagine that Bruno will do what he can to keep the dressing room on board (I know Bruno had already left before Amorim joined Sporting but Ooooh Portuguese Friend and all that).
