🗣️ Kalidou Koulibaly shares an insane story about Maurizio Sarri:
“I will never forget the day my son was born. My wife had gone to the clinic in the morning and we were playing against Sassuolo at home that same evening. We were in the middle of a video session and my phone kept ringing. vibrate.
My wife called me 5 or 6 times. I then rushed outside and my wife said to me: "You must come, our son will be born". So I went to see Sarri and I said to him: "Mr., I'm sorry, but I have to leave now, my son is going to be born".
He looks at me and says: "No no no. I really need you tonight Kouli. You can't go". I insist: "It's the birth of my son sir.
You can do whatever you want with me, hang me I don't care. I'm going". Sarri, who is stressed, smokes smokes smokes, thinks, and finally says to me: "OK, OK, you can go to the clinic, but you have to be back for the game tonight, I need you Kouli.
I arrived at the clinic at 1:30 p.m. and thank god I arrived in time to attend the birth of my son. It was the best day of my life.
At 4 p.m., Sarri called me back and asked me to come back, My wife needed me but she still allowed me to join the team at the stadium. Then when I entered the locker room, I saw Sarri displaying the score sheet.
I'm looking for my name and there, and my number is not there. I say to him: "Sir, you are joking I hope? My son, my wife, I left them, you said you needed me". And there he answers me: "Yes, I need you... on the bench". I think about it now and feel like laughing. But at that moment, I wanted to cry.”
Thing for me is, they’re desperately waiting for him to fail, which I honestly do not understand. And it’s mostly Mancunians too lmao
I guess, “One of us” is not applicable once the manager deems someone unnecessary and assassinates their character. They call me a fake fan
Hell isn’t enough for Ten hag and the dumb “Top Reds” who defended him as he sold Alvaro to make sure “Malacia” wouldn’t have competition for the spot. United fans are the fanbase that’s easiest to brainwash - just say “because the Manager said so” and they’ll believe anything 🥰
Funny thing is our fanbase went to different lengths to defend ETH for this decision at that time. This constant obsession of defending anything and everything the manager does has us in this position now, we are doing the same with Amorim/mainoo situation.
Scott McTominay finished 18th in the Ballon d'Or. Think about that for a second. Cast off from Manchester United, deemed not of the required standard & was sacrificed for shiny new toys.
Wins the Serie A MVP, leads his club to the title, turns Naples & Italy into his own personal playground. Finishes above Neves, Mac Allister, Bellingham, Haaland, Rice, van Dijk & Wirtz in final voting.
Go on lad.
The Rashford talk here is killing me man
Had a short loan at Villa. Their fans still love him
2 months at Barca, fans are crazy about him
Born, brought up in Manchester. Was at Manchester United for 20 years. One of the highest goalscorers in club history. But hated by fans
Thing is, he was never asked to do this at United
He was the outlet because of his pace. Fans that wanted him to trackback, basically wanted him to contradict the manager’s information
When he didn’t, they accused him of wanting to get the manager sacked. Yanited fans for you
He actually did “track back” at United, just didn’t do it every single time because he was mainly tasked with making forward runs, providing an attacking outlet. But disingenuous gaslit the fanbase with a few out of context clips.
Manchester United have not won a Premier League game since March (3-0 against Leicester City) unless they scored a penalty or played against 10 men.
Even when they seemed to be in control, they let Chelsea back in, conceding from another set piece, resulting in a very nervy ending.
But Ruben Amorim's side got the job done and can make it consecutive wins if they beat Brentford next weekend.
