Last night in Boston, Aymen Hussein scored for Iraq;
At 12, his father was killed by Al-Qaeda.
At 18, his brother was kidnapped by ISIS
At 20, he helped Iraq qualify for the Olympics.
At 30, his decisive goal sent Iraq to their first World Cup in 40 years.
He was detained for seven hours at O’Hare International Airport and nearly denied entry into the United States.
In his very first World Cup match, he scored against Norway.
Some stories are bigger than football!
📸 - Harry Maguire is taken off and Old Trafford is giving him a standing ovation.
This is the man who kept standing up after receiving so much hate, this is the man who kept defending the colors of his club no matter what.
This is the man who kept going, the ultimate example.
They mocked him.
They doubted him.
They focused on noise instead of progress.
But here’s the truth:
Dorgu scored his first goal under Amorim, same as Cunha and Mbeumo.
Bruno began racking up assists under Amorim. Our attack changed.
Our threat from set pieces started under him.
Our defensive structure and team spirit were rebuilt under him.
From day one, Amorim said these players would come good — and they are, because a solid foundation was laid.
Hate him for dropping your favourites if you like, but the progress we’re enjoying now belongs to Amorim as much as Michael Carrick.
Manchester United didn’t go from Erik ten Hag straight to Michael Carrick.
We didn’t go from a team that struggled to protect a lead under Ten Hag to a defensively compact side just because Carrick has spent three weeks at the club.
We didn’t go from a squad full of egos, indiscipline, and clubbing addictions to one built on athleticism, focus, unity, and hard work simply because Carrick arrived three weeks ago.
We didn’t go from a team that was consistently outplayed and dominated in possession under Ten Hag to one that now controls games and dominates the ball just because Carrick has been around for a few weeks.
We didn’t go from a team with serious goal-scoring problems under Ten Hag to one scoring for fun just because Carrick took over.
We didn’t suddenly become a threat from set pieces just because Carrick has spent three weeks at Manchester United.
A certain Portuguese coach ensured that ego, indiscipline, and toxicity were completely eradicated from the dressing room.
He made sure deadwood and entitled players were cut loose.
He made sure we became a possession-based team again that could match the athleticism and intensity of any opponent.
He made sure we fought for every ball, scored goals, and converted set pieces.
He made sure the players were united, the dressing room was healthy, and most importantly, that Manchester United became a joy to watch again after years of depressing football.
His name is Rúben Amorim!
Hate him all you want, but the truth remains: he is the single most important reason we are where we are as a club right now.
AMORIM A FRAUD?
that's a lazy argument!
People need to start giving AMORIM his credit.
He inherited a dressing room built on entitlement:
Garnacho, Rashford, Højlund, Antony, talent, yes, but culture-wise? Broken.
Amorim came in and 'killed player power'.
No one was guaranteed minutes if they didn't perform. Wearing the shirt became a "privilege", not a right. Discipline returned.
He laid the foundation we’re seeing now.
That Mbeumo quote says everything:
> “Under Amorim, we already knew how to work hard.”
> So when Carrick arrived, the habits were already there. That’s impact.
Carrick deserves praise, but let’s stop pretending he “fixed everything in 3 days.”
That work started before him.
Amorim wanted more signings to increase depth and quality, not luxury players. The board stopped backing him. Wilcox calls him “a manager at heart” yet limits his authority. That contradiction killed momentum.
What we’re seeing now?
That dominance was 'coming anyway. I don't think we are there yet.
Give Amorim his flowers. He saved this team before he left.
And by the way, Lammens reflex yesterday on the header? If that was Onana, it’s a goal.
Never imagined that Glazer & INEOS frustation would reach this peak. So many United fans, every major United creator & fan page has retweeted this letter.

“For Ratcliffe and the Glazers the game is OVER. Time is UP. We can take no more and urge as many fans as possible to join us in a massive protest [at the Fulham game on Feb 1st].” #MUFC
Ruben Amorim sacked, not because Manchester United couldn’t finish in the top four. Not because the players downed their tools and not because there’s no progress in the team.
United sacked him because he called them out, he needed help.
The next manager/coach has my full support too. I’ll defend him until he’s sacked or gone.

Just get out of our club you parasite.
All you and a your family have brought to this club is misery while you have made fortunes.
All on the back of Manchester United’s good name.
Haven’t you and your family taken enough?
If you have a spare 5 minutes then I URGE you to read this. I recently recieved the most insightful DM about Ruben Amorim from a Sporting fan that you’re EVER going to read:
“Hey Frank, I am going to message you because I now follow a few Manchester United accounts and you are one of my favorite ones.
“I know you back Amorim but I need to tell you a couple of things about him so you have a bit more insights and knowledge about the manager he really is.
“First of all, you need to understand that this man, despite being a Benfica fan all his life, is the most important person that Sporting have had (in the football department) in the past 40-50 years. We came from 3 titles in 40 years. Three! And the man set us up for 3 in 5 years.
“Second, you need to understand how that man works. He is a leader, and he uses his leadership by connecting with the players. Sporting players gave their lives on the pitch for the guy. Check his last match with us: Braga 2-4 Sporting. Our second/third most important player, Pedro Gonçalves, played injured just because he wanted to play for Amorim’s last match. He ended up being injured for the next five months.
“A lot of this important connection with the players happens in the summer. Amorim always takes the team for 2-3 weeks in the summer and he just builds a team from there. We don’t know how he does it, but when the season starts, the players just look at each other as family. The environment you feel in the locker room is something you have never seen before.
“This is another reason why he needs his time, and it’s always why that comment saying “what kind of manager needs 8-10 players to win matches?” - trust me, he does not. He needs to win the locker room. He needs a summer to implant on them the idea that they can win against anyone. And he will do exactly that.
“Lastly, understand that Amorim is much more than a coach. He is a proper boss/manager. We will restructure the whole club. It’s very important that people understand this.
“At Sporting, he made us a winning team by improving much more than the main squad - he improved the scouting, the staff, the youth teams. He created his own performance team. He simply changed this club from one point to the other.
“He went to Manchester to do exactly that. You can believe me when I say that if it was an invitation from Real Madrid, at that exact moment, he wouldn’t have leave Sporting. He wanted that exact context of Manchester United, he wanted to grab a club with massive potential and completely change it. He will do just that.
“Keep backing the guy. Don’t trust the nonsense of him needing lots of players or a lot of money… just look at his first few months at Sporting. He was the fourth (!) coach that season. We finished fourth. The next season, first match, we lost 1-4 against Lask Linz and missed the Europa League qualification.
“Then he grabbed a couple of youngsters, hired Pedro Porro + a couple of guys he had in Braga and proceeded to win our first title in 19 years. The rest is history.”
Absolutely facts here from @SkySportsNews need to keep the pressure on the glazers it’s time someone help the fans spread the message of what the glazers have done to this club. All united fans please watch it
Bilbao is his club 🤷♂️ the club he started and Ended his career in Europe at
I’m not gonna be mad at him for this 🤷♂️
This is being posted just so people rage at him
It’s stupid
