‘I might be failing you on the pitch but outside the pitch I can promise you that I’m not failing you’
This were his words when he was trying to assure us of success in near future and to calm but quick fix is all Many of you were after cause you couldn’t take the bant, bunch of emotional reactionary lots..
I hope y’all are happy with this direction now huh??
It was simple, let Amorim finish the rebuild as we agreed 3 years from the beginning, at least let him use 2years but y’all said No.
It’s just unfair that we all are in this all together and it really hurts more knowing fully well that some of us don’t deserve to go through this pain all over again 🤦🏾♂️
It’s really painful asf 🤦🏾♂️
He said, and he delivered. In his first full season, Man Utd had the best attack only behind PL-Champions and CL-finalists Arsenal, and a Man City of Pep Guardiola, after he took over a team sitting in 13th place before.
Bruno got injured, Amad and Mbeumo went to AFCON, and United was still 3 points off UCL-football.
The media went on a witch hunt, a d Wilcox’s ego COULD NOT handle not having control, Amorim stood up for himself and it saved his career.
Time will reveal itself. The best manager United had since SAF.
Next season might genuinely ruin my mental health if we go back to losing games that we’ve got no business losing.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth that most United fans don’t want to hear:
Amorim didn’t fail. He threatened the people who were comfortable with failure.
Read that again.
People keep judging him as if he inherited a healthy football club that only needed a better coach.
He didn’t.
He inherited rot.
You don’t build a skyscraper on top of rotten foundations.
You rip everything out first.
That’s exactly what he was doing.
The squad overhaul wasn’t about making headlines. It was about resetting the culture.
The early inconsistency wasn’t proof that the project wasn’t working.
It was the cost of rebuilding from the ground up.
Week after week, the machine became more stable.
Not perfect.
Stable.
Then came the real problem.
Amorim’s influence stopped being limited to the dressing room.
He started demanding higher standards from the board too.
Because you cannot build an elite football team while the people running the club continue making mediocre decisions.
The board wanted a coach.
Amorim wanted to rebuild the football club.
Those are two very different things.
Then the noise started.
Fans complained about academy players not playing enough.
Others cried because fan favourites like Rashford were no longer untouchable.
Some players weren’t happy that the days of player power and comfort were disappearing.
Suddenly everything became chaos.
The board wanted control.
Some players wanted comfort.
Sections of the fanbase wanted popularity contests.
Amorim wanted standards.
Guess who lost that battle?
But here’s what people conveniently erase from history:
The football was improving.
We finished 14th.
By the time he was sacked, we were 5th.
We weren’t just picking up points.
We were finally looking like a team with an identity.
Even when we lost, there was fight.
There was structure.
There was belief.
The squad was still short of quality, but for the first time in years, the direction actually made sense.
January arrived.
He asked for reinforcements.
The board refused.
Then they sacked him.
Not because the project had failed.
Because they refused to give the project what it needed.
My prediction?
Amorim will make AC Milan relevant again.
And when that happens, a lot of people who mocked him will suddenly start calling him a genius.
United won’t have lost just a manager.
They’ll have lost another chance to become a serious football club.
🗣️ Mateus Cunha: Amorim is one of the major reasons I came here, He explained my role to me perfectly and I felt comfortable with it.
🗣️ Bryan Mbeumo: Amorim convinced me and I only wanted United after Amorim’s pitch to me.
These are the signings that were engineered by INEOS, right?? Keep trying so hard to hate and discredit Amorim but One thing I will keep saying is that “it may take time but surely, everyone will know what Ruben Amorim wanted for this club.”
Amorim understood that a manager’s job doesn’t end on the training pitch.
He personally called Benjamin Šeško. He met Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo face-to-face to sell them the project. Every major transfer under him carried the same message: the manager was actively involved.
That’s what top managers do. They convince players to believe in the vision.
Now look at where we are.
People keep telling us the manager still has influence. Where is it?
Some will argue Amorim wanted Emiliano Martínez instead of Lammens, or Ollie Watkins instead of Šeško.
Fine. Let’s assume that’s true.
Watkins had just delivered 16 league goals plus assists. Martínez was widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s top three goalkeepers. Those weren’t random names—they were proven, high-level targets.
And if those reports were false?
We still ended up with Šeško and Lammens after outstanding seasons, and every report consistently pointed to one thing: Amorim played a major role in selling Manchester United to those players.
The manager was the project’s biggest salesman.
Now compare that to today.
Carrick has been invisible throughout this window. If he has been involved behind the scenes, then it’s clearly not working because United are losing battles they should be competing in.
A manager who can’t attract players—or isn’t being allowed to—has little influence.
Right now, we don’t look like a club being led by a manager.
We look like a club being run by the board while the man in the dugout watches from the sidelines.
Knowing my club, this isn't even a question of if they reintegrate Rashford.
They will.
And that's what makes me feel sorry for Amorim.
He spent a year trying to clean up the dressing room culture, raise standards and rebuild the identity of Manchester United.
He took all the criticism and all the blame because he believed the club wanted to change.
Now it feels like all that effort was wasted.
If Rashford is reintegrated, then it will confirm what many of us feared:
Amorim wasn't fighting against players.
He was fighting against the culture of Manchester United itself.
They'll probably add Tonali, too.
And some fans will celebrate the return of Rashford.
But the moment Amorim was sacked and Carrick was appointed permanently, I knew this board, and these owners had no real intention of making Manchester United successful again.
Successful clubs don't abandon long-term projects at the first sign of pain.
They don't spend a year trying to change the culture of a football club only to reverse course a few months later.
Everything since Amorim's departure has only reinforced what I feared.
With this ownership and this board, I no longer believe Manchester United is serious about becoming an elite football club again.
INEOS want to keep Rashford’s value high and are trying to play it smart.
They’re willing to walk away from players because they don’t want to break the wage structure, but they would be fine keeping a player they don’t even rate on 325k a week for another two years? I don't think so.
You’ve got Rashford on 325k a week sitting on the bench and then you’re asking someone like Tchouameni to come in as an important part of the project on 200k a week and expect him to accept that?
You either fully commit to fixing the wage structure or you don’t pick and choose. Bringing him back would only make future negotiations harder, because it ties their hands when it comes to wages.
But if they actually bring him back, it would only show they don’t have real principles or a clear strategy, they just do whatever saves them money in the moment.
