Disagree.
With one game a week (we were told that was a massive advantage by Amorim) there’s no reason we can’t be competing.
We finished 3rd in 2023, Won the FA Cup in 2024 & got to the Europa final last year (beating Sociedad, Lyon & Bilbao), this isn’t a bad squad.
Is Forest’s squad last season better than ours?
Is Crystal Palace’s squad better than ours? Sunderland’s? Bournemouth’s?
The only squad’s I personally feel are massively better than ours is, Arsenal, Liverpool & City.
We have some bad players & people who need moved on / room to sign players, but there’s absolutely no excuse not to be competing for Europe with this squad. Having it in 15th is a disgrace & it’s 100% a coaching problem.
United have issues (finances, culture etc.) but these have been massively inflated by the fact we’ve been the victim of some absolutely horrendous coaching since August 2023.
Our squad has improved since Ten Hag’s 1st season — Mbeumo, Sesko, Cunha, Yoro, Mainoo, Amad, De Ligt, Mazraoui are all top players.
Any good coach gets this squad competing for European places, at the very least.
I’m tired of seeing people pretend otherwise because they can’t swallow their pride & admit they were wrong about Amorim — the decision makers at the club are doing the same.
Harry Kane became the fastest player from Europe's top 5 leagues to reach 20 goal contributions for a club at the start of a season, beating Lionel Messi's record, which he set in his Ballon d'Or winning year 11/12 [@Transfermarkt]
UPDATE: Sadly, Conor won’t be on. He can’t do the show today anymore but has promised to come on in the near future. I sincerely apologize to everyone who got their hopes up about his appearance today.
Ruben Amorim to be sacked by Manchester United if they lose to Sunderland this weekend.
Contradictory to reports elsewhere, I have it on good authority the club has already worked on shortlist of replacements and will pull the trigger if results don’t improve immediately. #MUFC
Despite managing 53 fewer matches, Amorim is already just two losses shy of Solskjaer's entire PL tally at United.
Amorim: 33 played, 17 lost.
Solskjaer: 86 played, 19 lost.
🚨 | There is a THREE man shortlist if Manchester United decide to sack Ruben Amorim.
This includes Andoni Iraola, Oliver Glasner and Gareth Southgate.
