There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.
To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.
Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.
Forever a Red Devil ❤️
Gaffer,
Thank you for sticking to your principles till the very end. For not changing who you are as a person even when it got really tough and seemingly impossible.
I know you'd have an incredible career ahead. Myself and 1000 others wish you all the best for the future.
🚨Last year, Casemiro was dropped.
Casemiro who had won 5 champions league trophies, 3 La Liga and was a Galactico was publicly derided for being slow. In a particularly torrid game against Liverpool, he played like he was two full seconds behind the game. United lost 3-0 and the internet had only condemnations of his performance. He was subbed immediately after first half.
His wife, Anna Mariana made a post afterwards, sharing Casemiro’s trophy cabinet with a simple message ‘Always Strong, Casemiro.’ Only his wife was by his side. He was dropped for games and restricted to bit part contributions.
How did he respond? Like a champion.
Casemiro lost weight, added muscle and became obsessed with the gym. At the start of the season Nathan Salt, referenced “Manchester United insiders” who reportedly said Casemiro is “looking leaner than ever” after adopting a “self-imposed sugar ban.” In another video, when Manchester United players were asked who would be first to go to the gym once they returned from an international break, over 50% of respondents mentioned Casemiro with one person saying he is sure Casemiro would already be in the gym. Today, he is undroppable in the midfield.
Now let’s get back to Kobbie Mainoo — according to many reports from different journalists, Amorim says that he still needs to improve in different areas of the game, and for Amorim it doesn’t matter who you are if someone else is better and performs better than you in training he is going to be picked ahead of you.
I love Kobbie and want him to smash it at United, but he has to earn his spot. He can’t just walk into the XI because fans or the media demand it. I’ve also been emotional about him not playing, but when you think about it, the manager is keeping standards. (Even though yeah… some of Amorim’s subs should’ve brought Kobbie on earlier — different story)
Some really curious take are suggesting that The Manager change his formation to ensure a 20 year old talent becomes an integral part of the team. Mind you, they are not just asking to change formation because it is poor, but because it will ensure the team carries Mainoo.
That is the poor character we instituted in Garnacho that made him to leave United where he thinks he cannot sit on the bench for any game, to Chelsea where he expects to start games from the bench.
Do you want me to tell you the story of Harry Maguire?
We should have passed this stage in this club. Mainoo can sit on the bench or he can leave. If the manager thinks he isn’t good enough, he isn’t good enough to start.
I want Mainoo in Manchester United. I want him to grow here but no one should be walking into the team because of fan pressure. Casemiro and Maguire didn’t, everyone should earn their stripes. #MUFC
Boy was at centre of a custody battle. Judge asks, do you want to stay with your Dad? Boy says no he beats me, so judge asks what about your Mom? Boy says, no she beats me too then judge asks who do you want to stay with?
Boy replies 'Indian Football Team, they dont beat anyone'
