I’ve deeped it… nothing brings people together like the universal hatred for Arsenal 😭 FARKKKK I’ve been laughing for hours man everybody a comedian today!
A lot of online “patriots” seem to hate:
* London
* young people
* universities
* artists
* immigrants
* journalists
* modern culture
At some point you have to ask what part of Britain they actually like.
Correct decision with a medium term deal, with an option for a long term extension if Carrick is good enough. The club must continue building squad an elite manger will want, win win. 🏆
— Beat City comfortably
— Beat Arsenal at the Emirates
— Beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
— Beat Liverpool today
— Secured UCL football and is on course to finish 3rd despite taking charge mid season.
And some United fans are still complaining about the style of play… genuinely the most confused fanbase in football.
Michael Carrick, I love you ❤️
@AliceTalksFooty I think it will be the fa cup result which will be the nail in the coffin, I can see us going out to Brighton and Ruben will be sacked then
If this is true don't long this out, just sack him now and get a permanent manager right away! Although we might see short term improvements, united are never going to improve until we finally back a long term project! #MUFC
🚨 JUST IN:
There is really some tension behind the scenes between Ruben Amorim and the Manchester United management. Amorim is likely not happy with United’s process in the transfer window - the market is currently on stand-by for the club. #MUFC [@FabrizioRomano]
Ruben Amorim’s supporters argue that it is not the system that's at fault, it’s individual players not doing their jobs or simply making mistakes. But the system clearly doesn’t help them. Forcing centre-backs like Harry Maguire to play a high-line exposes his lack of pace. Not his fault, it's Amorim's. Luke Shaw is not a left-sided centre-back. Bruno Fernandes is not a central midfielder. Most players don’t look comfortable with 3-4-2-1.
The defence looks exposed, not enough pace, too many gaps and no cover of any substance. Amorim’s stubbornly sticking to his system when 4-2-3-1 would work. The best managers adapt, work to their players' strengths. United’s defence would look more secure as a back-four of Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro, Shaw, shielded by two from Mainoo/Ugarte/Casemiro, Bruno restored to his preferred 10, flanked by Mbeumo and Cunha serving Sesko. But Amorim is too stubborn to change.
Amorim also has to take culpability for vulnerability at set-pieces and failure to know how to respond and regroup when the opposition turn the ball over. Where is the coaching? They’ve upgraded everything at Carrington except, it seems, the coaching. Amorim was outwitted by Keith Andrews, who was managing only his 8th game. Andrews just saw the centre-backs’ vulnerability and unleashed pace. Amorim’s tactics are clearly at fault.
Amorim says his players needed “more personality to control games”. But his system inhibits them. His questioning and demeanour can hardly inspire them. He's clearly a good man and at Sporting showed he was a decent coach. But this stubbornness may cost him his job.
That said, it's all very well this increasing clamour for change but who? Who could United bring in? Most elite head coaches are all embedded at teams with better squads at better-run clubs. United are still United, still huge, still big payers, and should still attract a decent coach. But who? #MUFC
