The hate for Amorim was never really about results. It started the moment he benched or moved on people’s favorite players.
The 31% win rate just became the shield they hide behind to justify the agenda.
Because if you actually watched the football, the team was starting to look organized. Patterns were forming. The structure was improving. This was six months into building a squad, with new pieces still settling. Momentum was coming. Results usually follow structure.
But Player FC couldn’t tolerate meritocracy.
Amorim was doing things the old-fashioned way:
• Train well → you play
• Perform well → you keep your place
• Drop standards → you sit on the bench
Simple. Fair. Professional.
And that’s exactly what Player FC hates.
They want special treatment lists.
Players who must start regardless of form.
Players who need “the perfect system” or “three specific signings” just to function.
Think about that logic for a second.
A serious club doesn’t build the entire team to unlock one underperforming player. If you can’t perform with the tools available, you step aside for someone who can.
That’s football.
Amorim actually challenged that culture. That’s why the noise started.
Did he get everything right? No.
One mistake was not finishing Player FC completely when he had the chance.
Because once that culture survives, it keeps rebuilding itself.
And that’s exactly what we’re watching happen again.
@FriendlyPSGUY@Cantonadevils your the clown here
we all knew this was a project he needed investment the squad he inherited wasnt meant for him and need time to build it but us as united fans dont have patience and want results now
The idea that Amorim is “rigid” is one of the biggest myths that spread during his time at Manchester United.
On paper he starts with a 3-4-2-1, but during games the shape constantly changes.
At times it becomes a 3-2-5 in possession, sometimes a 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, or even 4-4-2 depending on the phase of play.
That’s exactly why players like Amad were used as wing-backs. It allows the structure to change naturally without substitutions.
There was nothing rigid about it.
The real problem is that many people judged Amorim from the lineup graphic before kickoff, not from what was actually happening on the pitch.
