Sending our best wishes to the boss and his family ๐
Remarkable result. United winning through three goals of real quality, two spectacular, while restricting Arsenal to next to nothing.
Going again after Merinoโs scruffy equaliser is a mark of proper resilience.
Cunhaโs shooting from outside the box coming good. #MUFC
@lauriewhitwell Absolute disgrace. This manager has not improved this team in any capacity since coming in, the attacking play is pathetic and we canโt defend with 5 defenders on the pitch!! OUT!!

Why Amorim WILL Be Sacked
9 wins in 33 league games. 32 points. Relegation form.
Heโs told us he wonโt change, and heโs shown he isnโt learning. Same system. Same mistakes. Same failures.

@AndyMitten The longer the people in control of the club keep this going the more inept they become. This man has done nothing, absolutely nothing to improve the team or structure in 12 months. Thereโs giving managers time and thereโs being absolutely stupid in sticking with this manager.
Ruben Amorimโs supporters argue that it is not the system that's at fault, itโs individual players not doing their jobs or simply making mistakes. But the system clearly doesnโt help them. Forcing centre-backs like Harry Maguire to play a high-line exposes his lack of pace. Not his fault, it's Amorim's. Luke Shaw is not a left-sided centre-back. Bruno Fernandes is not a central midfielder. Most players donโt look comfortable with 3-4-2-1.
The defence looks exposed, not enough pace, too many gaps and no cover of any substance. Amorimโs stubbornly sticking to his system when 4-2-3-1 would work. The best managers adapt, work to their players' strengths. Unitedโs defence would look more secure as a back-four of Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro, Shaw, shielded by two from Mainoo/Ugarte/Casemiro, Bruno restored to his preferred 10, flanked by Mbeumo and Cunha serving Sesko. But Amorim is too stubborn to change.
Amorim also has to take culpability for vulnerability at set-pieces and failure to know how to respond and regroup when the opposition turn the ball over. Where is the coaching? Theyโve upgraded everything at Carrington except, it seems, the coaching. Amorim was outwitted by Keith Andrews, who was managing only his 8th game. Andrews just saw the centre-backsโ vulnerability and unleashed pace. Amorimโs tactics are clearly at fault.
Amorim says his players needed โmore personality to control gamesโ. But his system inhibits them. His questioning and demeanour can hardly inspire them. He's clearly a good man and at Sporting showed he was a decent coach. But this stubbornness may cost him his job.
That said, it's all very well this increasing clamour for change but who? Who could United bring in? Most elite head coaches are all embedded at teams with better squads at better-run clubs. United are still United, still huge, still big payers, and should still attract a decent coach. But who? #MUFC
