🚨🚨🎙️| @alex_crook: “I know this for a fact: Manchester United were offered Ruben Amorim in the summer. They said NO because his style didn’t fit this squad. They then hired him weeks later. It doesn’t fill you with confidence, does it?”
Of course, Ruben Amorim is under pressure. All elite managers, and he’s up there, put themselves under pressure to achieve. It’s in their DNA. But, whatever he says, his job is not in “danger”. Manchester United know they have appointed a talented head coach who needs time to eradicate a deeply-ingrained culture of under-achievement. Amorim needs funds to cut the dead wood from the squad and rejuvenate it with younger, hungrier responsibility-takers. United’s problem is as much an issue of mentality as ability. Maybe that’s a Glazer thing where United sadly became about what an individual could get out of the club rather than what they could put in.
Whatever the cause, Amorim has to address the lack of leaders in the squad. United are too diffident. They have to recruit stronger characters and also promote from the academy players who care deeply about the club. Give Harry Amass a chance. Amorim says he's had only four training sessions to work on 3-4-2-1, far too short a time for such a major tactical change to be absorbed. He can really be judged only after a summer transfer window and a proper pre-season. The “suffering” will continue before things get better. Amorim deserves patience. #MUFC
Remember this from Amorim?
"We have 2 ways — forget the new idea and try to cope, and next year we'll be here with the same problems.
"Or we start NOW — risk and suffer a little bit, and we'll be better in the next year."
He'll build his team. Patience.
@ronaldobrown_98 Being realistic with budget etc.. August 2025 - attacking front 3 would be ? Amad and…..
I know it’s early days but when do we start looking seriously at bringing Obi Martin up from the academy ?
